1st off, I still think rebarreling in 223 is the way to go... if you are worried about ammo availability this situation will not last, & 223 is "normally available much cheaper than something custom... I Borrowed this list from another forum, so I'm not sure of the accuracy or completeness of the list, but here is a list of 223 based cartridges...

6x40mm
6x45mm
25 TCU
.25x40mm
6.5x40mm
6.8x40mm
7mm TCU
7x40mm
7.62x40mm
6mm Whisper
6.5mm Whisper
7mm Whisper
300 Whisper
30x45mm
30 Apache
30 / 223 Ingram
