I enjoy the AR platform, after Nam didn't have an intrest but now, I have 2 and am enjoying them both. I am considering a 300 Blackout upper for hunting. Just gonna add a scope and work up some loads.
What say you?

Have you looked into the 6.5 grendal? Surpasses 308 for long range and still can use the AR-15 platform.

However complicated the issues becomes it comes down to one simple question. Which is more important to you Life or Liberty? I've made my decision long ago.

The 300blk can do the work out to 30-30 and AK ranges with far greater accuracy. Be sure to use bullets designed to work in its envelope. But seriously, why not use your 5.56 in S.Texas? Using Hornady TAP-FPD or other self defence round I know you will find it plenty for your deer. It works great on Missouri white tails. .
The 300 black out comes into its own if you plan to put a can on it...
