What about the .223 in softpoint? You said that the FMJ is formidable. And do you know anything about the 7.62 X 39 in FMJ, Hollowpoint, and AP?

Can't honestly say that I'm conversant enough to discuss all the intricate details of those ballistics and terminal impact comparisons. I was simply pointing out that the .223 is not necessarily "low end" by any means in terms of its general effectiveness. There are so many variables that come into play with a detailed analysis that it's best I leave it to the experts.
Now that I think about it though, why bother with any of these puny rounds, when you can just convert your existing AR to accomodate the far superior ballistic performance of the venerable .50 BMG.
