[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 2243054, member: 112192"] I built an AR-10 in 6.5 Creedmoor (22" barrel) nearly for the sole purpose of hog hunting ... and I would never take it hog hunting! lol It is just way heavier than I anticipated and not something I'd want to carry around. Now if you're driving a wheeler to a blind and setting up shop for the night then that's one thing, but I would never want to carry this thing over my shoulder any given distance. So now I'm left with a AR-10 that I've only shot at the range a couple times that I have no real use for other than ticking off the lefty's! Luckily for me my hog hunting plans haven't come to fruition just yet but I will be building a new 6.5 Grendel on the AR-15 platform to get me the ballistics I'm after in a more manageable platform. Or if I know the ranges will be a bit tighter I would also probably take my AR-15 in 350 Legend using 125gr Hammers. [/QUOTE]
