If i hunt on the farm i always take my 300WM bolt action but i still keep my 6.8 with me incase i need it. If you have never had 20+ hogs walk out on you, then you will never understand.

Last march i killed 22 out of 24 of the hogs and still had 2 rounds in my 25rd magazine. The next week i killed 18 out of 25ish hogs and burnt over 40 rounds.


That sounds like fun! No pigs up here, good for the farmers but sad for the shooters.

rockinbar, I can't speak for nonnieselman but I have a few 25 (or 27?) rd 6.8 mags; IIRC they are D&H brand from PSA for @ $10 each on sale. I like the ACS stainless mags better though, as they allow longer OAL.
