i was at gander mountain, browsing for my next piece. i decided to look at some of the "evil" looking assualt rifles , thinking ahead to tax time. i noticed that some were for .223/5.56, and some were for .308, which i'm unfamiliar with. the only rifles i have any practical know-how with are lever action .30-06s. i asked the salesman the difference between the .223, 5.56 amd .308 rounds; he said that the first 2 were standard rounds for LEO/military/civilian use, while the .308 was more for hunting big game, like elk and such. to quuote him:"the .223 while leave a nice little hole in a guy, but the .308 while put a hole ya can out yer fist through." he also claimed the recoil for the .308 was a lot stronger than the NATO rounds. call me crazy, but a take anything a salesman tells me with a grain of salt. anyone here ccare to shed some light?
