[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 2768213, member: 84845"] Also remember that the AR-15 isn't limited to 5.56/.223. Would you feel comfortable using a 6.5 Creedmoor at 500 yards on mule or coues deer? If so, then it would be contradictory to say an AR-15 isn't adequate for those deer. AR-15 in 6.5 grendel will have the roughly the same energy at 250 as the 6.5 creedmoor at 500. And some people don't take shots over 250. That being said, I love AR-15 for predators and javelina, and while it could totally work for deer, I do prefer bolt action in a more powerful cartridge than fits in a standard AR-15. [/QUOTE]
