Is this hunting ammo you're using in the 7.5" 5.56 guns expanding/mushroominig/fragmenting in soft tissue at close range?
Seems to me that the ONLY reason for owning a 7.5 AR is for penetrating soft body rmor. It would not seem to be good at anything else!!
Now I gotta know what mag and who wrote this article. I have mostly stopped reading gun rags anymore, because of the tripe that the writers were spouting.
If i had to make a SWAG on the author I'd have to say that it sounds alot like Charlie Cutshaw... the uber accessorizor.
My capacity for self deception is exceeded only by yours.
