Having humped both and a pig in the sandbox I stand by my comments. .308 load out is not the same as .223 just my preference. Rather have more with less than less with more, just my observations from 20 years ago.

Yes I understand this is an AR forum but I can have an opinion. Hoser will be along shortly to tell us that unless it is .338 or larger you need to go home. I will say that our troops need something between .223 and .308. What that is I am not qualified to guess at.
