That's exactly what I thought when I read the OP.

4. What is a good tactical round? 308 and 30-06 are good and add the 5.56

And... 7.62x39

1. 22LR typically launchs a .224" bullet weighing 40grains (440 grains to one ounce,so about1/11th of an ounce) at 800 to maybe 1200 fps muzzle. 223Rem was originally designedto toss a 50gr.224" bullet at 3000fps, current loads for 62gr bullets (mine) run about 2500-2700fps.

Some of the newer hypervelocity .22 lr ammo will hit over 1750 fps, but even it's 204 lbs of energy is nothing compared to the .223's 1000+ lbs of energy. Even at that a 308, 30-06 or 7mm mag are capable of two to three times that energy.
Oh and the 22lr Is well respected by those that no its capabilities.
Well you guys cover this so well I should have kept my mouth shut but I have flappy fingers tonight and had to put my 2 cents in.
I had a feeling when I read the OP that there would be a flood of replies to this one. What a doozy
