I've neither hunted with a .223 / 5.56 nor had an AR. But I'm thinking about scratching that itch as I've seen a number of Bushmasters and similar with a 1/9 twist available at very reasonable prices recently. I would want it to hunt coyote, hog, and deer. Without buying another upper in something like 6.8 SPC, are there suitable rounds for each animal? (Where I hunt, 90% will be taken within 150 yards and essentially none beyond 200.)
For some examples, would the factory 62 grain 5.56 green tip be suitable for coyote or hog? Would the 75 grain V-Max be suitable for hog or deer? And/or what would be some suggestions? (I can reload, but due to hours in the day limitations right now I'd prefer to stick with factory ammo if it is possible for ethical hunting.)
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
