[QUOTE="DUCKMAN11, post: 2765911, member: 122313"] Me and 2 of my hunting partners have switched from 300blk and 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel over to 77gr bthp in 5.56. I can load a mag for less that $15 and don't see myself going back to other more expensive cartridges any time soon. I'm shooting a 18" 1:7tw WOA barrel and with the 77gr Sierra match kings AAC load from palmetto state. I'm getting 2750fps and sub 3/4" groups at 100yds. Fmj's are horrible on hogs unless you are a head shot ninja. We have found that varmint style bullets or hollow points that dump all of their energy inside the ribcage are superior to any bullet that makes 2 holes. The 77gr pills will have better bc vs 55's if the shots get long. Me and my rifle like the 77gr offering from AAC and the price is right! [/QUOTE]
