MHO a 5.56 is a tad on the light side for deer, but bullet placement is critical no matter what you shoot, an AR10 7.62 would be a better choice. And as far as the poodle thing, the kid has 3 standard poodles that would drag down an elk if she told them too,, so yeah over all ya done good !“Nobody hunts with an AR15. It’s just wrong, it’s like hunting with a poodle”
Yet, here we are filling the freezer.
