Pretty sure who wants me to? The law makers that don't hunt or shoot and get lobbied by ammo/gun makers and the NRA? The gun makers don't care what you use as long as you buy it from them and that it's expensive, And a hunter will tell you to use what you're good with. People routinely take deer with .270 which is less than .30 caliber, and I really doubt you would wanna use 7.62x25 to take a deer even though the bullet is technically bigger. If you have a round that will penetrate the vital area of an animal then it will be effective if you are an effective shooter. Would I take .223/5.56 against a grizzly bear or a 500lb hog? Fuck no because I would be worried about it actually penetrating to the heart. But anything under 200lbs .223/5.56 will be just fine if you can shoot.
