CONTEXT: My father explained to me long ago how versatile the 30.06 cartridge can be. How 30.06 can be configured to take rabbits if necessary. Extreme, yes? He also taught me to shoot at six-years-old by way of the family Ruger 10-22. I've always wanted one of my own, but not right now.
QUESTION
Is it possible to load 55gr 5.56x45 (or 223) cartridges for use in an AR rifle suitable for taking rabbits, squirrels and other small game?
It would be a lot more expensive than shooting 22LR, but it would save me investing in a 10-22 (for now) and I wouldn't expect to shoot it a lot. Just for those occassions when I might have to hunt to eat...LET'S GO, BRANDON! .
