AR-15 round better than a .30-.30

[theGinsue]

The 300 HAM'R was developed from the .223 Rem. The neck has been expanded to .30 caliber. There are bullets from 110 to 150 grains. The case is 1.603" with a 30 degree neck angle.

Interesting cartridge. My problem is that there have been so many new cartridges created over the last 15 years that I'm starting to wonder "why" and what niche the new round covers that wasn't adequately covered by an existing round. It's hard to afford enough rounds in my existing caliber needs to consider digging myself into a deeper hole.

It's kind of crazy how often the gun industry relates things to hog hunting currently.

Right? I keep hearing reports about how Texas is just getting overrun by feral hogs yet I can't find anyone who'll let me come hunt the hogs on their land without charging me for the pleasure.

They're charging cus they are trying to meet the bill for their property taxes

I went a few weeks ago looking for hogs at a friends place, didnt see any.
I'm going to try to find a good deal on an automatic feeder to bait them in.

And as far as oddball calibers, go 45 raptor and get it over with.

Texas doesn't actually have a feral hog problem. Those places that charge to hunt stock those ranches with pigs.

Comparing modern rounds to a .30-30 isn't all that impressive, nor is the ability to kill farm animals. That said, I have a .300blk and am looking very strongly at 6.5 Grendel. I'd probably hunt coyote to antelope with either just for fun, but wouldn't run around telling everyone it was some great hunting round.

He needs to bring them in on the back of a truck like all the other ranches with hogs do.

His are actually wild. They keep draining his gravity deer feeders, and since we works on the oil rigs out in west TX, he cant keep them full to pull in deer with his schedule.

My wife's brother in law has access to properties via his employer that have wild pigs as well. In the areas I have been, they are there, but not quite as numerous as they appear on youtube.

If he's interested in actually getting rid of them, trapping is the only answer since you can't kill them fast enough by shooting them.

Having shot (a lot) one of the locals 6.5 with a 16? or 18" bbl, i am impressed. If i didn't have a few bolt action 30 cal's and the 6.5C i'd be all over the 6.5G. The AR's recoil was next to nothing, impressive accuracy, with easy 2nd & 3rd round follow up. Ammo's not cheap, yet

Meh. Twenty-six cents a round isn?t horribly expensive.
