[QUOTE="CaptainCrunch, post: 663504, member: 49627"] It's all about shot placement. A deer can still run a long way with a 50cal through non-vitals. A good knowledge of the anatomy of what you are hunting and being able to hit where it counts will bring them down quicker. The 223/5.56 is an effective out beyond 500yds with the right load. Some 1/9's will perform well with a heavier bullet, some won't. It's good to get some range time in with different loads to determine which one works best out of a particular rifle. All of my AR's are 1/7, not the best for lighter stuff. Example a 50gr Varmit grenade, my best group was .75", with the worst being 1.6". [/QUOTE]
