If the vast majority agree .223 is the best varmint cartridge, how can it also be the best battle cartridge? Varmints don’t shoot back!
They have never shot a 204 Ruger then…
Having fired the .223, 6.8, and 6.5, I have to say that continuation of using the .223 (5.56) as a battle cartridge is a complete failure of our government and pressure to use NATO rounds. Both the 6.8 and 6.5 are far superior for “Bad Guys”. They may not be as accurate out at longer distances, but we aren’t fighting at any distance these cartridges couldn’t handle. I’ve personally dropped a 240lb hog with the 6.5 at 160m with one shot. And he fell like a rock! Would much rather put my life on the line with a cartridge like that!
