If you wanna mess with more heat in your AR, there's no need to go .308. Put together a 6.8 SPC upper. Or if you hand load and feel in the mood for wildcatting, there's a .30 Herrett barrel from AR15Performance. Basically, a 30-30 in an AR. Snap them onto your existing lower and the CA.gov doesn't have anything to say about it.

You can kill a hog with about anything placed right, but I've never seen anything make them leak from two holes like the 400 Whelen with a 300 TSX.....

A .45-90 or .45-110 also makes impressive leaks...

![[Linked Image]](http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg601/cdbeagle/Marlin%20336.jpg) Marlin 336 30-30 with Wild West Happy trigger, raised comb for good cheek weld, Pachmayr grind to fit recoil pad and a VX-3 1.75-6x32 with German #4 reticle. Reason: it works.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

The Wild West trigger is really nice, and that scope is about perfect for that gun.

This one here seems to work. ![[Linked Image]](http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz265/mlward_ssa/Boar_01_18_2014_zps9a660eb4.jpeg)

My Shiloh 45 caliber Sharps rifle, hope to use my original 86 Winchester in 45-70 on one soon, both rifles use black powder and 500-530 gr bullets.

My .45-70 "primitive" BPCR shooting 250 gr. TSX at 2,550 fps (Barnes 1895 load) really does a job on hogs, WT's, too.
A small pig had his chest contents blow out the far side, the far rib cage fractured like a broken window, fracture lines leading out from the exit hole in all directions.
Bad...

My favorite hog gun is a an AR in 7.62X39. I assembled it before the .300 Blackout became available, but it would do the same thing without specialized bolt parts.
I've shot them with rifles from a .223 to 45/70, and for my hunting this rifle is in the sweet spot.

Next to a 22 LR I've probably killed more hogs with this one rifle than any other I own. .490 RB & 70 grains FFFG. ![[Linked Image]](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r174/lt13demi/Mobile%20Uploads/image_79.jpg)
