The original plans were to use it for sporting purposes. My original idea was to use it suppressed with heavy bullets in the 300 Whisper platform. Range, well, I usually don’t shoot past 300 anyhow, but I know either one would work for me in my needs in a “oh crap” moment.

Pab, If I got the 300 Whisper, I think you are right on with the assessment of purchasing a 223 upper.

BFR, the hogs were the reason I was thinking the 300 in the first place.

Right now I am just thinking out loud and trying to get my ducks in a row…
