[QUOTE="backyardtndeer, post: 5041282, member: 16465"] First time I seriously carried an ar platform rifle last year, but it is a 6.5 creedmoor. Have a 308 as well, it never came out of the safe. Did not squeeze the trigger on a deer with it. The gun I built is extremely accurate, may be more accurate than any of my bolt guns. I know others here do, but I would not use a .223 for deer. Most my handloads for .223 are varmageddon tipped or 55 grain sp's, not ideal for deer. Only con I could list, my 6.5 is a bit heavier than my bolt guns. Hoping next season to get an opportunity on a deer with one of my builds. [/QUOTE]
