"I was interested in the 308, but not sure if its a decent round through the
ar15?"

I believe you cannot shoot the .308 through the AR-15 platform unless you are talking about the 300 Blackout which uses a .308 bullet in a modified .223 case. The standard .308 is generally shot from the AR-10 platform which uses different parts, some parts propritary to a specific gun maker.
