    I completely spaced on the use against coyotes. AR-15s seem about ideal for that.

      Hogs is another common critter.

      With the right hollow point and good shot placement, I don’t see it having a problem taking down a white tail

        Yep I know about hogs (some other comment somewhere I mentioned them) and the biggest stopping of 5.56 for hunting is usually a legal ban on them rather than practical with the right ammo. Honestly might be for the best because otherwise some Bubba with non-hollowpoint ammo and a crooked scope would be out there maiming deer.

          I mean current laws now don’t stop some hillbilly from maiming a deer with buckshot because of “headshots one drop herrr” or a low charged 38 caliber muzzleloader.

          I hope they open up the laws more. My state allows all straight walled rounds 350 legend-50 cal, but no bottleneck for deer. You’re telling me a 45-70 or 50-110 is safer to use than my 22-250? Just fudd brained people making laws
