[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 260932, member: 2736"] I cant believe I'm the only one that hunts with an M1a (M14) but I consider hogs varmints and have tried the 223 and it works fine on the first shot but when that first shot goes off things get wild. 20 rounds of 308 can level the playing field when a bunch of hogs show up. The most hogs I have killed after the first shot was 5 (Total of 7) from one bunch. My younger brother has topped my numbers so now we have a contest to see how many we can kill with one shot. and he will probably cheat and use his 416 with solids. At least that's what I think he's up to. Where we hunt the Coyotes have gotten smart and won't come in and seem to hold up at 300+ yrds so the 308 works well and the M1a does well when chasing them all over the place, some times you can turn them by hitting in front of them and kicking up dirt and rocks.With 700 to 800yrds of hunting it can become a rodeo. Cats arent very smart and they come right up to the call or caller so even the little 17 hmr will work well for them. I even had a brain fart and thought about using tracers where there is no chance of starting a fire.( Must have been something I ate ). Any way just though I would see if anyone was having as much fun as I am with this rig. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
