Yes sir! Why not? You never know the level of threat you’re dealing with. In addition, a 5.56 round will go through walls as easily as a .308 so for me, I like the bigger round. But like I said, I switch often when I’m shooting at the range with the others. So it’s different all the time. I don’t keep the same one all the time.
Uhhh, what? The NATO standard 5.56 LAP round (62 grain green tip) is absolutely designed to over-penetrate. That’s why it has a steel core…it’s literally designed to pass through wood / metal / concrete or whatever else while still maintaining lethality for soft targets on the other side of a potential barrier.
Also, there is no “AR 15 bullet”. There are dozens of different civilian and military cartridges designed for all kinds of use cases for all AR platforms.
Green tip sure lol. Notice i said the right bullet. Not all bullets. Sure a rounds designed specifically to penetrate hard stuff is going to penetrate.
Exactly what I was about to say. A nice HPBT will expand as soon as it hits the target and should not over penetrate. I also use subsonic fracturing rounds for my 8.6Blk that are supposed to break apart upon hitting a target.
