If the 5.56 round is not effective for small game why does the military use it? I am not trying to troll just confused. I would imagine a 5.56 round is more of a "shoot and mame" configuration? It is harder "psychologically" to pick up a rifle and fight U.S. soldiers if you buddy has a massive bleeding hole in his leg,arm,neck etc. and is bleeding out. I don't know, I always rationalized the 5.56 in this manner. I guess for hog hunting you want more knock down power so the animal can't escape and bury down in brush possibly losing the kill?
Educate me as well.
