I wonder if a subsonic from a 458 SOCOM suppressed would do a bit of good. Probably any 500 gr would work.

Can't imagine it not working.....
I can tell you that Gunner's .450 Bushmaster worked like a champ when I borrowed it. Wasn't running subsonic, though.
I keep thinking a trim SOCOM (Beast, maybe) would make a fun AR for bear. A modern Guide Gun ......

Don't be fooled, I'm not giving up my SBL, but the SOCOM seems like a good mate!

If you just want a 6.5 Grendal then build one, But I have worn out 3 .223s shooting pigs, it kills them dead,no matter what size they are, and I don't use any special hand rolled super bullet, powder, Zombie, load, just factory 55 gr btsp, and I have killed pigs with every thing from a .22lr up a 404 Jeffery, it ain't what you shoot them it's where you shoot them,I carry a .223 ar-15 in my jeep and kill pigs almost every day year around . rio7

What ever you fancy, spelling it correctly (6.5 Grendel) might help with the Google Fu...

Of course you can run whatever, but no flies on the 223.

Grendel or 6.8 either one would make a good hog/deer rifle, better than the 300 by a long shot. The Barnes or Hornady GMX bullets will pass through end to end regardless of how many bones are hit.

You must log in to see the data I'm shooting 28gr of IMR XBR 8208 with a 123gr sst, 2365 fps avg out of my 14.5" barrel and scary accurate. I doubt I'll change that load out any time soon.

Here is a 12 shot 100yd string, 14.5" Sabre defense CL barrel, standard AR trigger, bushnell AR scope. ~1.25" with above load prone with bipod mixed headstamp brass. The next 10 shot group opened up to 1.75", either me or the barrel was getting warm since I shot 20 rounds without stopping  . ![[Linked Image]](http://i58.tinypic.com/339mtqs.jpg)
