Most are chambered for the 5.56x45 cartridge, and can also fire the .223 Remington. However, AR-15 type rifles are available in a number of calibres. 9x19mm, .40 Smith & Wesson, .45 Automatic Colt Pistol, .22 Long Rifle, 5.45x39, 7.62x39, .223 Wylde, .204 Ruger, 6.5 Grendel, and 6.8 Remington SPC are some of the available chamberings.

What do you do if your ar15 doesn't reload?
