[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1840571, member: 93895"] I would go 7mm or 6.5 cal. 7mm-08 with some 140 or 150 grain bullets would cover hogs & deer @ 300yds nicely. 6.5 prc would be another option to look at. I like my 6.5 creedmoor but I'm running it in a 26" with a max load so I'm getting velocities close to a 6.5 prc with factory ammo in a 24". If I were going short & light for hogs & deer I would do a 6.5 prc or 7mm-08. I just got through with a 22 creedmoor. I really like it for low RECOIL. If I were going to run it for deer or hogs, I would run a 77gr Barnes lrx. Should be able to push it about 3500fps easy and get really good accuracy with it. [/QUOTE]
