    Best choice is obviously .69 caliber with buck n ball. Absolutely devastating.

    I just want to say this for anyone running a sub 11" barrelled weapon in 5.56... Please, please run some expanding ammo like TSX or similar. With regular ball ammo and an 11" barrel, you might get 40 yards for tumbling/framentation. Under 10", with normal ball ammo, you are just going to make a .223" hole in your target at any distance, and a pistol with HPs would be a better for wound mechanisms.

    The 5.56 realistically always relies on tumbling upon entry to be effective. Don't believe the tumbling is so much related to distance from target. Just a natural reaction once it hits anything.

    I don't remember the name of the show, but that one show where they own a gun shop and do custom work, a guy and his daughter and wife.....anyways......they made a pretty sweet truck gun out of a lever action 30/30. Sort of a tactical lever gun lol.

    From Texas. Just moved to Plano.

    I think I have $1200 to $1400 in it. Kind of no expenses spare build. The 8" match barrel from KAK industries, Aero COP4 upper, SSA E geissele trigger didn't help.

    I think radical arms has something similar for around $600.

    D&H tactical mags, they were hard to find at the time.

    Yet to put a proper sight on it, but it is a paper puncher for sure.

    I lied they got one for $499. If only I could get the wife to understand you can't own too many guns, and I had unlimited funds.

    Awesome stuff! But any way that I looked at it those are much more expensive that I can spend.

    Even out of the 9 inch barrel Kel Tec PLR 16 (.223) a good 55 gr JSP isn't something to ignore.

    This .223 Remington JSP mushrooms out to about 45 cal while traveling over 2500 FPS.

    And the .223 from the short barrel Kel Tec blows large holes clean through 1/4 inch steel. While such as 9mm, 45ACP, etc, just manages to scratch the paint.
    The third bigger hole is a AK round.
