Yes.
The 5.56 is much more effective in the AR versus the 223 in a bolt gun.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Pigs, couple sorry ass emu’s. I have no doubt a 223 with a 62 grain Bear claw would kill a deer after blasting hundreds of pigs with them.

Pigs. Yes.
Deer. No.
No doubt it would work fine. Just never used it for deer

Occasionally used one when predator calling! memtb

Yes. Still do hunt coyotes with one. Don't hunt deer with one anymore, but I did just to do it.

Yes, varmints/predators. All the deer I've shot with .223 and .222 have been with bolt guns.
