I was recently invited to go on a hog hunt this fall in TN. Right now, the only rifles that I would take and already own are AR style rifles in 5.56 and 7.62x39. I was thinking of adding 300 AAC Blackout to the list; though my good friend is trying to talk me into the 350 Legend. My hesitation with the 350 Legend is that it would require new magazines, where the 300 AAC uses standard AR mags. Also, though the ammo selection for 350 Legend is growing, it is still nowhere near the variety of the 300 AAC.
So, first question, is there any good significant reason to lean towards the 350 Legend?
For those who recommend the 300AC, what ammunition would you recommend? I am estimating that I will keep shots within 300 yards; so is bullet weight a significant factor? I appreciate any advice the community has to offer. I'll also be looking at online forums, but figured I'd reach out to the INGO community first. Thank you!
