Really? Wow, I thought they were illegal for hunting everywhere.
So I should have gotten a .308 EBR? :o( Do you have one? Now what you are
saying is a .223 is less lethal than a muzzle loader or shot gun slug for deer?
I would have never guessed that.
Ya, a 223 can’t come close to terminal performance of a .45/.50 cal “slug”. Simple matter of sectional density.
RE 308: In Wisc., it goes by caliber. Cannot hunt big game with .22 or smaller. Small game is OK. If you want a 308, I think you can just get an upper and some mags. I’m sure someone here will correct me if I’m wrong about that.
