Working on an idea with East.

Do you use P-mags, or steel mags more? If you were going on a hot hunt with it, would you have a spare or spares of 20 round, or 10 round?

GO!

Pmags and 10 rd. 10 rounders protrude less and slightly lighter, depending on situation 2 or 3 extra as needed. Do the same with my 6.5CM gas gun.

I don't have a preference when hunting. I just grab a mag out of my bag and go. I usually bring a few spare mags with me and they are usually 25 round P-mag. I currently have a 20 round dpms mag loaded for next trip.

But twenties mean 10 more hogs shot before a Mag change. grin

Filled up they are pretty heavy, though. I think with the adrenaline flowing it won't really matter.

Can anyone really get more than 10 shots off accurately?

Especially someone that has serious demons with ARs? bolt

I like 10 round pmags for the smaller foot print and weight.

Is weight really an issue? I guess if I was 60+ years old, weight might be an issue. When scouting/stalking or just walking the ranch, I carry single point sling and I can't tell the difference in 25 round mag or 10. If shooting is a problem with the extra 10-15 rounds, get to the gym.

For multiple hogs on one sit, I prefer something manually operated.
I've found 3 rounds is sufficient. whistle

I prefer to have a 10 round mag especially for spot and stalk then keep an extra 10 round mag in my back left pocket for easy access and for quick mag changes.

Out of curiosity, what type hunting are most of y'all using your AR 308 for? I'm debating getting 1, but thinking the wight for spot n stalk might be a bit much. Not trying to derail your thread.

This is what I'm looking at it for. I have a 6.8 now. Do y'all find the weight on the AR 308's to be an issue for spot n stalk situations?

In my 6.8 I use 10s on MLD hunts, but I have 10 and 25 round backup mags. If I knew a hog sounder was coming in I'd probably have the 25 in first.
