[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1329152, member: 2736"] The only ammo that I would use as long as it was accurate is the M-855 Armor piercing because it will punch a hole through them. But don't expect to drop them every time unless you make a perfect brain shot. If you have to take shoulder shots for some reason, the 5.56/223 is two light in my opinion. Where I live, we have a hog problem and we shoot every one we see. if we are turkey hunting we carry Buck shot, if we are using varmint rifles we shoot in the head if possible and in the chest behind the armor and don't worry about tracking (They will die). My go to rifle that never fails to drop them is a 7 STW. If you have a 6.5 that you like install a "Good"muzzle brake and recoil will/Should be between 3 and 4 ft/lbs Almost exactly the same as an un braked AR 15 in 223. (3.4 ft/lbs in a 8 pound AR rifle) Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
