Wild dogs don't respond well to marginal hits, regardless of caliber/cartridge.
What if Jessie's girl is Stacy's mom, and her phone number is 867-5309

Started in 1991 with an Olympic Arms 6mm PPC. But now we have the 6 ARC and it's WAY better. Pfftttt.

Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.

I forgot, I actually did hunt for awhile with my Alex Pro MLR in 26 Nosler, suppressed with a thermal on it.
It looked really cool, but was ridiculously large, heavy, cumbersome, and just completely worthless. But if I was 25, it would be perfect for posting pics on Twater
I have two more of those guns in 30 Nosler and 33 Nosler, but haven't shot them after the earlier experience with the 26.

P.S. The MLR is an AR-10 stretched out to 375 H&H length.

Tried packing one around once, never again. Agree, on most of the AR's. I have an Armalite AR-10 SPR with a 20 inch barrel and that thing seems like a dead log to lug around (even though it's actually lighter than some of the other popular AR-308's). Then I discovered POF (Patriot Ordnance Factory) out of Phoenix. They make AR-308's that start sub 7lbs. I bought a POF Revolution w/ 16.5" barrel and it's definitely worthy of being carried around, even with a suppressor. It's become my new hog gun, both from a blind and spot 'n stalk. Not cheap, but probably close to the best AR-308 out there.

Wild dogs don't respond well to marginal hits, regardless of caliber/cartridge. Shoot enough under field conditions. Marginal hits are going to happen I dont care who you are. It’s common to shoot them on the run as well. We aren’t shooting at static targets. I think I have shot a coyote with just about anything.and too many cartridges to list. Yes what you shoot them with matters. Yes the 223 isn’t that impressive at killing coyote. 22-250 or something 6mm

AR hunting... Yes.
6x45, x39, .358W
Builds... 9mm to .458 Lott
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

If you have wounded 150 coyotes with a .223, then it was your shooting or the bullet that sucked. If it's the bullet that sucks, then your learning curve does as well. You may BS your way past some folks here, but there's a few here that know better. You're just full of schidt as usual.

You mean like the terrorist hunters do?  Not very much actually, but a couple that are highlights for us. Just recently went hog hunting for the first time, used ARs in 300 blackout and 308 for my first hogs. REALLY need to do that again. And my daughter at age 12 killed her first big game with a ar10 in 308. As you can probably tell she was pretty small. The AR10 with a collapsible stock was perfect for her size. Plus the cartridge was very capable. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/BbSGCdRd/hog.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/rFpkR214/madelk.jpg) Great picture.

Yep, hunted coyotes and bobcats for a couple of years but went back to a lightweight bolt .223. For me an accurate AR makes sense when dealing with multiple targets. Otherwise, I prefer a bolt action.

Yes.
The 5.56 is much more effective in the AR versus the 223 in a bolt gun. How’s that? Somebody wanna help me out here? Well, YOU made the statement. Surely you can explain it? Guess you couldn't sense the sarcasm. Went right over my head. My apologies, sir.
