Exactly AggieDog, they designed the 6.8 SPC to replace it... at least for the Special Forces for now. Glad someone has my back. LOL
Of course head shots are the best, but when your clearing room to room your not exactly focused on making perfect head shots... surviving is WAY more important.
Question... would you rather clear rooms with a .223 diameter bullet or a 30 cal? No brainer. Same concept, of course it will kill them, but a 30 cal hitting the exact same spots would kill faster. Why else would they invent the 6.8 SPC to compete with the 7.62x39?
That's one reason why special forces use the AK-47 over the M4 in a lot of situations.
What the [bleep] do clearing rooms, Vietnam, or special forces have to do with the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the 223 on elk?
Never had an elk shoot back, toss a grenade, or detonate an IED yet.... it's not like they have an offensive agenda.
[bleep], next chance I get to legally do it, I'm whackin an elk with a 223. Even though I know a 12 year old rainman who already whacked tatonka with one...
