How far is a 5.56 effective? How much further is a military similar grade .308 round deadly out to?
I can carry four times as much 5.56 but is it as combat effective? How many rounds on average does a 5.56 take to drop someone? Is the 5.56 the 9mm of rifles and the .308 the .45 acp? I carry a .45 b.c I know if am in a fire fight one shot from my .45 will most likly end it. I would carry a .308 if this is the case.
My concern is stopping power which I believe does exist. There are people that are hit in good areas that dont drop. With all things equal will a .308 center mass be more effective than a 5.56 and will a .308 allow me to put shots center mass out to a much longer range; or will a 5.56 out shoot me by sheer ammount of low recoil high volume fire?
The two rifles are a Sig 5.56 and an M1A standard with military ammo. You could also throw in an M4 since they are a common weapon.
What is a .308 m1a standard with regular military ammo giving me that a 5.56 wont?

I never liked the M4 for SHTF but the sig might make this round a good option.
This is what started my curiosity:
