The LeHigh Defense 194gr bullets intended for the 300BO have earned good reports. I tried Sierra Matchkings and an Outlaw State on a doe, and a pig respectively, and was unimpressed.
I keep a Daniel in 300 as the house gun. It is loaded with supers, 125gr Noslers, which I have seen work well on pigs. It's basically a .30 carbine on steroids, which is fine with me.
I looked hard at pistol Caliber carbines, and all of them seem to wind up with funky features that turned me off, or were of uncertain quality. The .45 ACP AR lowers that accept grease gun mags are pretty interesting. I have to think a 230gr Gold Dot at 1200 fps will be very effective. But it's not a cheap option.
