Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles are 7.62x39 AR15s always dogs?

I think 6.8SPC is the State Cartridge of Texas.
A lot of pigs have fallen to it.

Definitely not always.
If set up correctly they run fine.
Extra points for those AR's that can run AK mags.

I was loading my 30-39 ammo today and thought about this thread. I learned to shoot the 10 round straight mags in the 30-39, works just fine. I do not shoot the .311-12 bullets.

SOTA Arms sells the .308 barrels with 1-10 twist, when they have them in stock, I run 150s at around 2,500 fps with 1680 or 335. Makes a nice light weight hog rifle. It is like a 30-30 with a 10 round box mag.

The AR-10 Armalite is a heavy beast by comparison to the AR-15, with a 16". A tripd is about all you can do with the 308on an all night hunt.

My PSA shoots pretty accurately doing close to moa with Russian steel cased stuff. I recently found out that several of the higher cap mags I bought for it don't work though. I need to look into it further and figure that out but it hasn't been a priority. I keep an AK with 3 loaded mags in the garage for emergencies though. It's a nice zastava and always goes bang.
