[QUOTE="Rakkin6, post: 5250834, member: 23863"] Just want everyone's opinion on this. Me personally after carrying a 5.56 for 24 years overseas and seeing some of the stuff with how little stopping power it has there is no way I could ethically shoot a deer with one. I guess you could take a headshot but why limit yourself. Now I am sure some will say it's about shot placement etc. Which even with a .270 it's still about shot placement. But sometimes things happen and I would rather have a little more KE and a larger hole if I am off. Like I said just my personal opinion and my personal experience. I would not hunt a deer with less than a .243 Just wanted to see everyone else's view on this. [/QUOTE]
