Tx Hog Hunters: best caliber to build?
So I'm giving into the temptation to build a pig gun, because pork is the clearest indication that the universe was created by a loving god that I can think of.
I have a few friends who hunt pigs regularly, and I want to join in. But I don't really have anything appropriate. All my .30 rifles are bolt except my .30-30 lever gun, and I'm thinking I'd like to put something more modern. A new upper for my AR would probably be the fastest and least expensive path, but in what caliber?
Also, is cast even worth the trouble, or would I have cycle issues?
Subsonic with a suppressor would be great for shooting at groups, but I know the heavy, subsonic rounds have a trajectory like a brick.
Or am I better off just buying a complete AR-10 and adding another .308 rifle to my collection?
I'm hoping someone has been down this road and can warn me away from the more costly mistakes.
