Both bolt action and AR10

Mostly will be picking off pigs on feeders. Terrain is woods.

90% of the hogs I kill are with .223 or 7.62x39.
I dont have can that I can use with 458....... yet. I am also drooling over the 8.6 blackout so I may go to 338 vs 458 suppressed. I can do 308 suppressed.




If the 8.6 blackout excites you, research the .375 Raptor. Awesome round, optimized for short barrels. Far better ballistic performance than the 8.6
