    Looking to build a new AR for deer hunting. Currently have 308, 450 Bushmaster, & 223. Cannot decide on 6.5 ? 6.8 ? 7.62 x 39 ? or 300 wisper ? Looking for advice on what others are using. I keep it under 200 yards. Thanks for the Advice !!!:)

    I think the 300 Blackout can also fire 300 Whisper rounds. But the the 300 Whisper cannot fire 300 Blackout. SO I might go with the Blackout over the Whisper for that reason.

    6.8 is my choice, followed by 7.62x40, then 6.5G.

    -221/Whisper/Blackout isn't even on my radar...maybe if I hunted hogs at night suppressed, but then I'd just do a suppressed .458 SOCOM and not play around.
