[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 796011, member: 711"] Get the carbine, but don't hog hunt with it. It's one of the wimpiest rounds ever to come out of a centerfire rifle. I know one Korean war vet who shot a heavily padded North Korean numerous times with a carbine and did not stop him. Range was close-up. Someone else finally got tired of the show and center punched the guy with an M-1. Again, it's a crappy round. And, it's expensive and scarce. Shot placement is fine, but unless you are really good and pretty lucky too, there will be times when you need more, either to prevent wounding a hog or keep one from eating you. Uses for a carbine? The gun was designed to replace pistols and should be looked at as a long, accurate handgun. Ballistics are about like a moderate .357 load. These are really fun to shoot if you can afford the ammo.
