I use 300 Blackout. I've killed a few deer, but it doesn't have the knockdown power of the long action rifle. The plus is its short and compact, and light on recoil.

I think it’ll be fine at those distances. I would use a 60-75Gr bullet that the rifle shoots well. X2

AR10 .308 is the way!!! Don't have one? Doesn't everybody need a .30 caliber battle rifle?

If hell bent on buying a new caliber. 300 blk out upper is the cheapest. If you want another gun, 308 AR 10 are dropping. Seen at PSA for $700

I use a 300blk. Killed a coyote at 189 yards, dropped in tracks. Shot a 174lb buck @ 100 yards that went 30yards. Shot a 168lb buck @ 110 yards and he went 10 yards. watched both go down. shooting winchester deer season xp150 gr. Its a powerful round inside 200 yards.

300 BO is my favorite, stay within 150 yards with 110-125 gr bullet. That’s all I hog hunt with.

At 20-50 I'd be happy with a good 223 round but the 300 is easy to find and has a little more oomph I think while remaining gentle on the kiddos. The 350 Legend is a serious step up in short range power and not exactly a shoulder killer itself.
