For my tastes, 300/221 for sub load use. If not going that way then X39 for just regular use. I really like the x39 for banging around. Have taken a coyote the other side of 500 with one too. And its slow enough that ballistic tip type bullets don't blow up, they will go through the shields of decent boar too.. I was impressed. 125 BT exited on up to 250ish pound boars. Biggest I've had a shot at using the nephews gun

I’ve had to have (7) out of the 10 ASC mags I’ve bought, replaced by ASC. The other three, I modified enough to function, between bending feed lips and grinding, for range use. YMMV. 300 BLK is splitting hairs for on game performance with the x39, and same weight bullets. There’s more good 300/308 bullets and loads for game. The x39 is far cheaper to shoot, with factory AMMO. The 300 can (mostly) use your 5.56 mags, and same bolt. X39 requires new bolt and mags. Your call. Neither is good much past 159, IMO.

For my dual use, deer, hog, coyote and day/night ARs, I like to be able to hit hard, with over 100gr of bullet, at 150 and in. Head shots with my 223 ARs can get sketchy under lights or with night optics, no matter how good the rifle is. Vision isn’t the best, stuff tends to move a lot, and shot angles often get twisted.
She's snakey... Bandit wades in and growls and raises hell. Bailey just goes in biting... Not a sound. No warning. I watched her and Bandit literally tear an armadillo to pieces one night. Had to pick them up and put them in a feed sack to haul off...(I have to watch her around people too. I've caught her going in behind strangers to have a bite of them, and called her off.)
