You didn't read carefully. The yard sign is anything but loose.
And call me crazy, but if it can't get through a piece of plastic like that, I don't trust a round to penetrate light cover, or even clothing, well. You're certainly entitled to do whatever the heck you like with your 5.56. Mine is relegated to target duty or in really unfortunate circumstances my wife might end up using it. I'll stick to the .308.
Oh, and the wind difference is pretty dramatic - probably something like a 40% wind drift reduction by moving to .308 and more if you want to move to more exotic .308-type rounds of smaller caliber.
