It is a useless caliber in the Alaskan bush. I don't know anyone that would bother carrying one. Too small for personal protection or use on Alaskan game.........what would it be good for? I have seen Garand's, various 308's and shotguns all of which are useful.Well I'd continue to call yourself non-omnipotent.
And just for your information, the .223/556 can be fired from other than an AR.
