Does anyone know how effective the 5.56 round is at 600yds for takedown power? I was watching some "Hog Hunting" on YouTube yesterday and wondered what effect the distance would have versus the game you were hunting. I'm not suggesting shooting rabbits or prairie dogs at this distance. Would it still easily take down a deer?

Thanks for the info (both of you). Here's a pic of our setup taken from 100yds. So far we have been able to stretch it back to a little over 200yds.

Pictured is a DPMS, LE6920, WIN 30-30 and a Russian nagant 7.62. Change the coyote to a family pet and a deer to maybe a child out in the field and this is why I asked about takedown power. When we set up we made sure that there was nothing in the background and no one shoots alone. We don't have the luxury of shooting in a heavily wooded area with massive backstops. There is nothing behind our backstop for almost 1500yds.
