“5.56 mm”

I don’t want to talk about nuclear weapons but about your AR-15. Have you ever used it for hunting, and I don’t mean plinking. What have you bagged with it and is there hunting ammo in .223 Remington available?
I posed that question yesterday and from the answers I got I deduced that hunters were not very happy with me trying to use my Bushmaster for hunting purposes. What are your thoughts?

Good afternoon. To your first question, "What have you bagged with it?" The answer is, nothing. Many states, FL and VA come to mind (because I hunt them often), do not allow .223 for game.

To your second question, "What are your thoughts?" Best to use that caliber for varmints and humans (sometimes the difference can be blurred).

5.56mm
