30 yards away. Is a kill shot possible from this angle with an AR15 loaded with 55 grain FMJ xtac. If so, where would you land the shot?
If not, why not?
My understanding is MD doesn't allow AR15 deer hunting but I'm new to the AR and to hunting (never been), so I'd like to get some perspective should I have a chance when visiting family out of state.
556 AR15 with pinned & welded 14.5in barrel, button rifled 1:9 twist. Red dot w/ 3X magnifier, dont suspect is needed for this shot example.
EDITED NOTE - The location is not part of the question as the photo was taken in a residential area - CLEARLY A NO HUNTING/SHOOTING ZONE. The context of the question is merely concerning the rifle set up (a CQB), ammo, the position and the angle of the deer.
Sorry guys, I should have originally posted this disclaimer.
