I'll even grant the 5.56 being fired from a 14.5" or 16" barrel but the 300AAC from something short like 10.5"? Can the 300 110gr Barnes compete? I am deliberately not using the term "stopping power" as there are so many variables involved. The 110gr Barnes drops hogs at 100 (+ or-) so I doubt it would be *substandard* for personal defense.
If we are talking purely terminal ballistics inside 100 yards, I'll take the tac-tx over the 5.56 competition seven days a week and twice on Sunday. I base this on how this round performs in gel, on white tail deer, and against hogs.

I can't find any 5.56 rounds that do that well across all common intermediate barriers.

I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
