I prefer a larger round for a battle rifle. I like the Ar platform because I have been using one for a living since I was 17 years old. So its familiar. My favorite hunting rifle is a 45/70 guide gun. Not practical for a lot of what I do but I love that thing.
I never underestimate the importance of being familiar with a firearm. I thought long and hard about that when I first saw a grizzly while hunting
