I have been hunting hogs with a AR10 .308 and I am considering trying a 6.8 or possibly 300blk. With .308 I have found I don't have to lead running pigs, I just shoot at the front of the pig and follow through and I seem to hit where I am aiming (practice from lots of duck hunting only less lead). How much would the lead need to change for 6.8 or 300blk barnes supersonic? Just curious if I will need to remember to pull in front more compared to .308. Typically night time shots 150 or less, usually 100 yards or less.
I am also accustomed to pigs going down really well with the .308. When I hit them good they are usually DRT and even when I don't hit them that good most of the time they don't go too far. I like the DRT shots. Am I going to notice a significant difference in knock down with 6.8 or 300blk supers?
If you could only have one gun, would you stay with the .308? I do like the idea of a lighter weight platform. LWRC is coming out with a lighter .308 which looks like it will be nice, it is 8.5lbs. With more options coming out in .308 I don't want to go lighter and end up back where I started.
Thanks for any info based on your experience.
