First let me say I think this site is great. Out of all the post I have read, I have yet to see one flame war, it is nice to see that people can dissagree and not get flamed for it. First question... I understand the need to be able to carry a lot of ammo when in combat and the .223 is good for that. But why other than that would the military choose a calibar with such a small slug? I assume the high vilocity makes up for the size? Is there a website or a place at AR-15 that has all the terms used for the rifle and other things to do with the sport like MOA, etc. I have looked on AR-15 but have yet to find anything, unless I just haven't found it yet.
I would also like to say thanks to all who give the information for us newbies to learn, and to all who have in the past, who are now and who will in the future, serve our country...I salute you, and you have my deepest respect.
