Because I want my boys to shoot deer with it. Was thinking the higher grain bullet would be better for deer, the gun has so little recoil I think it'd be better for them than a .243.

Would 5.56 be as effective shooting deer inside of 200yds? If so I'll stick with it.

With good shot placement it would work but there are much better options.

6.8 spc being on in the AR-15 platform would be a much better option.

300aac with 110-125 grain would be a good deer round as well.

Yes, as long as you use a good bullet. The only people I ever hear of who think otherwise have either never used this caliber for deer before or chalk up their poor marksmanship to the cartridge's performance.
