I periodically rethink my self defense weaponry from the ground up. My handgun and shotgun are good to go however I'm questioning (in my head) my AR-15's in 223/5.56MM. Not the platform, as I'm very satisfied with the weapon itself, but the caliber.

I'm seriously thinking of adding the AR in 308 to my stable with intentions that it replace the 223 as my primary go to rifle. I would like your opinions pro and con on why I should or shouldn't switch.

Thanks
