You can use an SBR for hunting but why? What real advantage does it have over a long gun?
For me it's convenience, with my can on it it's about the length of a regular rifle. Believe it or not it works well, but most shots are within 200yds. I wouldn't go lower than 10.5" personally.
If I lived in wide open country I might reconsider my rifle choice, but part of my goal hunting is to get em close.

The only useless weapon is one that is out of ammo or not available for you to use.
SBR with suppressor is the ticket for close quarter hunting and shooting in close. I use mine for calling most of the time anymore.
Only take long gun if I know I will have to be shooting over 200 yards. Then if hunting with partner I still take the SBR and let him take care of any long shots that rarely happen.

Exactly. We are on same page.

What's the real disadvantage at normal hunting ranges?

I am also running one with suppressor with 55g hollow points for coyotes. I like to stay inside of 150 yards with it. What are you finding or what is your furthest clean kill?
I'm running a 55 NBT at 2900. I have killed several at around 275. I shoot a steel 8" plate at 400 regularly. I considerate it a 300 yard rifle.

Oh trust me, there are lots of "more useless" weapons out there than an SBR yet people seem to own,love and shoot them too. Mine are short, light and easy to handle in close quarters. I could not imagine trying to shoot a 26-30" heavy barrel varmint rifle in the areas I hunt. "Just Sayin'"

I only use SBRs, they are great. easy and light to maneuver around in brush and trees.
I use mainly an 11.5" upper with AAC suppressor in 5.56.
Ammo i use:
5.56 Hornady TAP 62r soft point barrier and 5.56 Hornady 75gr TAP T2 JHP.
*note: I use the 5.56 NOT .223. they come in both but the 5.56 is about 200fps faster out of an SBR.
Check out Hornady LE website for ballistics and stuff, they show the velocities of all their rounds out of all different barrel lengths.

I didn't say SBR. I described a specific set of SBR's. That being said, photos are worth a thousand words... You know, the kind you take with your game and the rifle you harvested it with.
