What do you think is better for deer and hogs? The ar-10 has better knockdown power but the ar-15 has higher velocity. Which is better because i really dont know

For those who dont know, an ar-10 is a .300 blackout round. A .308 bullet on a .556 casing. If im correct

Many different short action calibers can be custom made into an AR. I'd take an AR10 in 7.62NATO/.308Win if I had a choice.

Neither, I just like bolt action rifles.

Pretty sure the 300Blackout is a AR15 round.

.300 blk is on ar-15 platform....bolt-action for deer, lots of choices in ar platforms for hogs

AR10 would be a better choice for hunting deer and hogs no doubt.

A r10 to reach out and touch someone.

300 blk is an AR15 round.
What distance will you be shooting?
You can get an ar15 in 6.8 and use it out to 400yds. The rifle is much lighter than the AR10 with more than enough power for deer and hogs.

I would use an AR-10 type rifle in 7.62x51 (308).

The 300 AAC Blackout is designed to be used in a standard ar-15 rifle, not the bigger AR-10. The blackout is a 30 caliber bullet shoved into a cut down 223 case. Seems it is geared more toward the suppressed market.

If you want to shoot a standard AR-15 and want something bigger than a 223/5.56, might consider a 6.8spc. Lighter weight than the AR-10's.

Depends if you want to sit in a stand or stalk your prey. The AR-10 is a heavier and the AR-15 is a lighter platform. I think the 6.8 in the AR-15 is the best of both worlds.

Your results may vary......

nowadays both AR15s and AR10a are chambered in other rounds than the 5.56 or 7.62x 51 (.308) I am an old grunt and from experience I prefer the .308. the small 5.56 is a small hammer, the .308 is a sledge hammer. all the other rounds are OK, but when the time comes (the ole SHTF) you will wish you had a .223 or .308, the other calibers just aint gonna be laying around.

The above is the reason I'll be looking at the new Colt 901 when it's on the market.Comes in the 308, I'll buy the 556 upper from colt at the same time. Then just switch out to whatever upper I need.

AR10 for deer AR-15 for coyotes and hogs

AR10 for anything, I learned 40 plus years ago, the 5.56 just aint got what it takes....still being proven in Afghanistan and in Iraq till a few months ago. the 9mm pistols aint gettin the job done and the .45 acp will, and neither the 5.56 calibers. just from my view. then again, what do I know.

Two quick rounds of 5.56/.223 at 75 yards put this guy down the other day. 64 grain psp. A larger round like the .308 will leave a bigger entrance and exit hole for better blood trails but it won't kill deer and pigs any deader.

See a friend told me an ar-10 fired a .300 blackout round. Seeing how i dont know much about assault rifles so i figured id ask the forum. Thanks everyone!

Ar15 any day. The ar15 can be a 204, 223, 300 blackout, 22lr, 9mm, 40, 6.8, and 6.5. All those choices vs the 308.

AR10s are not just chambered in .308 anymore, ever heard of the .338 Federal? several other long actions too, but like I said, the .308 will be there when the others will probably not be on store shelves.

I realize the .308 is a short action, but there are options to the AR10 calibers.

Its not an assault rifle. AR stands for armalite rifle. Assault rifles are are capable of burst or full auto fire.

that does get old, people calling an AR assault rifle, Eugene Stoner and Armalite, the real ARs, the term assault rifles give AR platform/style rifles a bad name. I love my Armalites.

.308 will get it done without the double tap. I just have more confidence in the .308 than the .223. I gave the .300 blackout some thought but figured that I might as well just go .308.

I have a .30RAR as well and I would rather hunt pigs with it but I had the AR 5.56 with me and wasn't gonna pass the shot. And the fact is it doesn't matter what caliber you are shooting, including the venerable .308, a chest shot pig may run on you and I've always shot until the animal was out of sight or down.

Beg to differ with you but a .308 would have taken it down with 1 shot. With the 5.56 you have to be a little more concerned with shot placement. AR10 is the go to hog/deer gun. You won't need to worry about blood trails. It is much heavier particularly with scope and light.
