I could very well be mistaken, but I don't think a hollow point is necessary when your shooting a bullet the size of a small child.

If so don't go with this bigbore as your first. You will not be able to enjoy it, way too ammo expensive!

Build a 5.56 and shoot the snot out of it before you go to this cal.

You can always swap out the upper down the road.

Yes, it's my first AR but in all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of 556/223. I really have no use for it other then fun shooting and depending what house the wife and I buy in a year or so, keeping rodents out of the garden. In reality, I'll most likely build a 556 for the ammo prices/availability.
