Deer hunting with an AR-15

[Rhino55]

I have no idea what you are talking about.... I do not believe in the private ownership of firearms. I believe they should only be used by trained professionals such as the military and law enforcement...

BHA ha ha aha ha

I was able to .05 MOA @ 100 out of my old match barrel (>5000) rounds through it. The barrel twist was 1/7.75 twist. I sold the upper to PD up in Tulsa.

.05 MOA? Wow, that's like half an inch at 1000 yards!!! Congrats!!!

I think an AR-15 would be a viable option to hunt deer or hogs with, mainly hogs, but only if you have nothing better to hunt with. Shot placement and bullet type are crucial. I'll say it again, there's no point in hunting with a .223 if you've got any larger caliber sitting in the safe.

Hey, I was just wondering if it was legal. Thanks guys.

Um er, they are not mine. I am holding them for a friend.

I was wondering when someone was going to catch that - .05 MOA is a very clean hole at 500yds (not ragged).

I've got some Winchester Ballistic Silvertip in 55gr that will absolutely jack an Oklahoma-sized white-tail's world up if I can get the right shot off (I'd have to have the "right shot" before I'd take it no matter the caliber personally).

I like the 55gr because they don't change my POI by much at all at 100yds over my plinking ammo.

like everyone says its totally legal as long as you use 55grn bullets and a 5 round mag

55 grain or heavier pointed soft point or hollow point. Ball is a no no.

They work very for deer, even using the .223. I shoot the Rem 55gr softpoint.

Proof is in the pics. Postmortum inspection showed a large hole through both lungs. The deer ran about 30 yds before piling up.
