Hunting with a 6.8mm AR 15

[Big-Dave]

I just picked up my first AR15 rifle. The caliber is 6.8mm. I have been trying to find the legality of hunting on private and public land with the AR15......

On private property, is there a limit to the amount of rounds I can have in the magazine?

It is my understanding that on public land I must be limited to a 5 round mag, is that correct?
