    Dirt cheap steel case fmj for fun and either brass case or steel case soft points for hunting.
    This! Cheap and you can get it almost anywhere.

      300 HAR’R will do it all.
      450 Bushmaster is very fun to shoot and great on hogs.
      350 Legend is also a good hunting round.

        There must be some reason the military is going to 6.8 SPC. I think it's called stopping power.

          I hope the 6mm ARC is one of them.

            I know the government takes forever on anything but they’ve been “going to the 6.8” for years.

              Looks like they are serious about it. Special forces are rumored to already be using it in places. https://www.americanrifleman.org/art...mmo-to-us-army

                Decided to go with the 458 Socom. Ordered an upper kit from Wilson Combat.
                Got dies, brass, powder and primers...just waiting on projectiles to come back into stock everywhere.
                Wanting the 300gr Barnes TTSX.

                Thanks for all the comments fellas!

                    I know some special forces groups have been using it. I don’t see it replacing the 5.56 for general troop use.

                        What’s everyone’s take on hunting with the 7.62x39?? It has been a awesome performer on hogs for us and ammo is cheap when you want to plink some steel

                          I like it. Thinking of getting an upper again.

                            I have a AR in the 7.62x39. Its my hog gun and it packs a punch. Mine real accurate with just about any ammo including cheap steel case stuff. Fun to shoot too.

                              x2 on the .50 Beowulf. Just devastating on anything that stands in its way.
