What Caliber AR15 for New England Whitetail

[peterk123]

300 blackout would be my choice. 110 Tac TX or VMax

I bet suppressed it would be a lot of fun, especially if you have more than one tag in your pocket.

Ya I kind of want to try that for hog hunting. 220ish grain bullets. Although we don’t have a lot of wild hogs around here to speak of. And I’m not sure if that would still be a little underpowered.

Edit: just saw that you mentioned you’re using tac TX. Great. That’s one of the best rounds out there for a number of different applications.

.270 for me this year. No poodleshooters for deer.

My friend who hunts with 7.62x39 has more deer with his car than his rifle

They just got an 8 pointer, with the x39 in my backyard, while I was working.

Ask him what ammo he’s using. Just curious
