The .270 WSM is supposed to be close to the .270 Weatherby Magnum in power but it won't fit in a Remington semi-auto rifle. I don't think there are any other .270 factory calibers besides the 3 we already mentioned and the 6.8 Remington SPC.

I'm partial to 7mm-08, but don't know a semi auto chambered for it. A .300 blackout AR would be poor, but 6.8 SPC or one of the 'new hotness' creedmoor calibers, 6.5 or the new one (7mm?) would be a good choice for a light weight, low recoiling AR.

Most of the barrel makers have AR-10 ones in all the -08 variants, including 7mm-08.

They sell 6mm Creedmoor barrels at that place. IMO that and the .260 Remington would be great choices for an AR-10. Less recoil than a .308 and better for hunting deer sized game than a .243. The 6mm Creedmoor is supposed to be really accurate too. But .308 ammo will be easier to find.

In an AR-15 sized rifle Remington sells rifles chambered in .30 Remington AR. It's based on a necked down .450 Bushmaster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30_Remington_AR

I use the .260 Remington as a deer hunting round, in a 700 CDL, tho, not semi-auto. The 6.5 mm range is perfect for deer hunting IMO.

I've made a couple of unsuccessful bids for the 6MM.  I may have a better chance of being successful after hunting season...I'm too cheap to pay the going rates right now.
