300 AAC? Okay, do you have the ballistics for this? I ask solely from curiosity. How does it stack up against all of the other .30 caliber range rounds? While those are effective rounds, and plenty of hunters have had great sucess with them, I prefer a 12ga, with either a slug, three ball shot, or 00buck for feral pigs and boars. I guess it depends on geography and personal likes. In the end, it’s all good if you bring home dinner.
