I guess I should have put this in the general forum, but heck, y'all are all over it like ducks on a June bug, so no matter.
Thank you all for commenting.

Good to hear regarding subjective recoil.

I have shot plenty of steel case though my pistols without mishap. Wolf 230gr .45ACP is more accurate in my 1911 than Winchester white box and no dirtier. And 6.5G steel case from Wolf is supposed to have Alexander's blessing, so if the need is for high volume at shorter range, I think it will do. I order plenty of ammo online, too.

I shot plenty of 5.56NATO in the service years back, but my skills are such that when I have competed in gun games, equipment is WAY down on the list of items that impact my performance. Like I need another platform that breeds in the gun closet. I already have multiple Rem 870s for different uses. I just don't think I could stomach any 12ga 870 / 6.5G AR15 hybrids. A man's got to know his limitations.

Huh. Looking at the data, 6.5G does not seem to sacrifice useful range like 6.8SPC or the .45/.50 cal AR15 chamberings seem to. Downsides are heavier ammunition and somewhat lesser capacity, in addition to decreased availability of ammo.

Exactly the sort of thing I was getting at for a general purpose rifle.
