If you go to the AR10 platform you can get the 243, 308, and 338 Federal. Although it can be used, I do not think the 223 is appropriate. There is even some question about its use by the military, which is why the 6.8 SPC was developed. If you have one I can see the desire to use it and within a certain range and with good shot placement it will kill deer. But if you're walking into a gun store and ask for deer rifle I doubt you'll be shown an AR-15. |
Well put...can it harvest a deer yes...however its not ideal by any means, and nor is it though of as a game cartridge...unless your a varmint hunter
