So I asked Chatgpt about it because we used to use a 30-06 rifle to go deer hunting when I was a kid and it was very acceptable weapon to go deer hunting and chat GPT informs me that the AR-15 actually has a smaller bullet than the 30-06

User What is the difference in caliber between an AR-15 and a 30-06 rifle

ChatGPT The main difference in caliber between an AR-15 and a .30-06 rifle is that the AR-15 typically fires the .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm cartridge, while the .30-06 rifle fires the .30-06 Springfield cartridge.

The .223 Remington cartridge is smaller in caliber, usually around .223 inches (5.56mm), while the .30-06 Springfield cartridge has a larger caliber of approximately .30 inches (7.62mm). As a result, the .30-06 cartridge is more powerful and has a longer effective range compared to the .223 Remington cartridge. It's often used for hunting larger game and has a history of military service, whereas the AR-15 is a popular semi-automatic rifle platform used for various purposes, including sport shooting and home defense, but typically with smaller caliber cartridges.
