It really doesn't make a difference whether you loose a little if even desernable. As long as you stay withing the limitations of the round and your own abilities. Picking an semi auto over a bolt because of the faster second round already says you don't have the confidence to get the job done with the first one.
I don't take issue with what type of action a person chooses to hunt with. Using the same logic stated above it is pretty stupid to hunt rabbits with a 10/22 or model 60. A BAR is nothing like an AR anyway and has the benefit of reducing recoil. I wouldn't mind owning a BAR with a good trigger job that is re-barreled to 6.5x55. For me it would be cool. What causes me to grimace inwardly is the people that insist they need a 300 WM, 7mm RM or such for deer, that a 30-06 or .308 isn't enough. But I'm not going to say anything because it is none of my business and it is a free country.
