i use an AR 10 chambered in 308... not near as expensive as this fine rifle in this video
but a 308 even 147 gran simply places a hog in the OFF position pretty well
the large bullet also enhances the OFF position easily
cool video

I don't hunt hogs. In fact, I don't hunt. However, that M1A is pretty bad ***, "clack, clack". Love that sound.
For the hog hunters... what ammo is typically used? Soft point? i ask because if i remember correctly, from @KillerFord1977 (I believe), soft point ammo is a "no-no" for the M1A.

i never thought about it, it pretty much stops them dead as a door knob
That’s all that matters.

Correct…
The SA m1a USER MANUAL states to not use soft point

I have dropped a lot of hogs with a M1A thermal equipped 
.
I prefer a thermal like a FLIR or Pulsar over a day/night scope such as a wraith.
