>you don't need anything that fires 223/556 ammo. The military designed that platform for a very specific reason, and it's not deer hunting.
You say that as if service members haven't complained about the performance of the 223/556 since it was first implemented. It's a significant step down from the .30-06 which was used in military service for nearly 70 years.
A 233/556 is a small rifle round be comparison. But the rifle it goes in looks scary.
Edit: FYI You be better off hunting with the .30-06
