The .30 XCB is exactly what I'm looking at. I read a lot of threads (Larry Gibson, and others) and have decided that was the most likely candidate for my intentions. I most likely won't be pushing for velocity, just a good, fun shooting round that is accurate. Now and then, feral hogs in our area begin to get out of hand and I figure it would excellent for that.
