I have been talking with my father-in-law about the .223 round for hunting and he says that it would be fine for taking small white tail deer with, what do you think? I hunt on my homestead and the longest shout I get is @100-150yards with most in the 50-75yard range. The only reason I am considering this is because I want that good all purpose rifle without high recoil. I also would like your opinion on hunting with an auto loading rifle. My father-in-law says this is crazy and the only thing I should use is bolt action. I really like the ar-15 but don’t think the .223 will do it for me and with the 6.5 and 6.8 the ammo is to high for fun shouting witch I like to do. The 308 just seams too big for target and enjoyment shouting but would do the job for hunting.
