[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1672589, member: 9308"] Okay, here is what Proof Research shows they make for the AR-15: [ATTACH=full]141227[/ATTACH] You are asking for advice. My advice is "Hogs are just as difficult/easy to kill as deer. If you wouldn't use it on a deer, don't use it on a hog." With that being said, and with the choices Proof offers, your options are: 6.5 Grendel 6.8 SPC .300 BLK Any of those are good! If you go by over-the-counter ammo availability and variety: 1) .300 BLK (Blackout) 2) 6.5 Grendel 3) 6.8 SPC If you go by 'flattest shooting/most range': 1) 6.5 Grendel 2) 6.8 SPC 3) .300 BLK If you go by "energy delivered at 100 yards": 1) 6.5 Grendel/6.8 SPC = virtual tie 3) .300 Blackout (about 400 fpe LESS than the other two @ 100 yards) If you go by LEAST to MOST recoil: 1) .300 Blackout (softest kick) 2) 6.8 SPC 3) 6.5 Grendel (most kick) ...but if we are honest here, you'd be hard pressed to "feel" a difference between the three of these out of an AR-15 as none of them are 'hard-kicking' in any sense of the word. Here is a good article for you to read, if you haven't already made up your mind to go with one of the .22 caliber rounds: [URL]https://www.chuckhawks.com/ar-15_deer_cartridges.html[/URL] and/or [URL]https://www.chuckhawks.com/compared_6-5_6-8_300_350.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
