My 2 boys are driving me crazy about hunting with their AR's. I know this has been discussed on here before but I don't know how to search for stuff on here. I bowhunt 99% of the time so I don't have clue. I know we need 5 round capacity mags, but what grain ammo is best? Any help is appreciated.

Is the 5 round mag a law? I couldn't find anything on it. My brother and me were discussing yesterday

I would shoot Federal Fusion or Barnes TTSX.

Keep the shots closeish and make good shot.

I thought it was a 10 round mag. My daughter an I use an AR 10 but I was thinking 10 round mag for some reason. Ammo wise I like the fusion or rem core lock.

People always claim there's a magazine limit law. I've never been able to find it.

On public land hunts, they limit mag size to 10.

Not true. There used to be a limit. There isnt anymore. It was removed from the regulations a few years ago.

My daughter hunts with my AR15 and she killed her first deer a couple weeks ago. I shoot the 62gr federal fusion. She shot her buck at 170yds and dropped him right there. That bullet made a mess of that deer. I've also killed lots of hogs with it. I will not hesitate to shoot a deer with it.

I shot one with the hog hammer ammo and it did a number on it.

Public land has, or had, a 10rd magazine limit. Private and private lease lands are unlimited capacity for magazines. I like 20s. They don't have to be full but if you have hogs, it helps.
I rarely use 5.56 for deer but the Barnes coppers and Ferderal fusions get my nod.

At first glance I thought you said "No bag limit" for using an AR15.

But do you use broadheads or field points? Bullet selection is very important with the .223/5.56 and shot placement more so.

I'm pretty sure WMAs do have a limit of 10 round magazines.
