[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 582460, member: 2736"] There are several things that you will deal with In an AR platform that are undesirable for the more powerful cartriges, weight and design work against you and just adding a heavy barrel will not cure muzzle climb Only reduce it a little. Your M40 has a better design for the reduction of recoil and muzzle climb but it cant be as fast as a semi auto for follow up shots. For your type of hunting if you wan't less recoil and muzzle climb in a semi auto then a heavy barrel and something like a 260 rem with 100 to 120 gr bullets will still get the job done with less recoil and muzzle climb. I chose the 450 Bushmaster for its knock down power because where I hunt is very thick brush and follow up shots are not the norm but if they present themselves it will do its job to 200 yards, and tracking is a big issue that should be avoided if possible. And once you have been involved in a wounded hog attack a heavy bullet is a great comfort and will save the day. My favorite rifle for running shots is a heavy 22"barreled 7/08 on a Mod. 7 Rem. but with a scope it does have its limitations after dark. so I installed a green laser on my 450 and it illuminates well enough to use the 2.5x7 scope if he is stationary and can be used as a targeting device if the hog is running at night. So its ether a muzzle break or a smaller caliber "Or" a pair of the Walkers Game Ears for the muzzle break J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
