I vote 7.62x25 for the hogs...
I have a 6.8 SPC upper that has given me great service; I carry it on the back of my Rhino while working on my ranch. I've killed two deer and over 50 hogs with it using a 110-grain Sierra Pro Hunter bullet. Accuracy, mild recoil, and the ability to get off a quick follow-up shot make this a perfect combination for my situation.I got a standard RRA lower, and I'm curious what caliber could I put on my lower that I could use for hunting. I'd rather not use a 5.56mm. I'm thinking deer or hogs. I'm new to the AR platform. I have a stripped lower and complete lower. I can reload, so it can defray the cost of ammo.
Ronald Williams makes a DI. I think Teppo Jutso, the folks who came up with the socom, make both a DI and a blowback. I've been thinking about picking one up cause of the ridiculously cheap ammo and overall awesomeness of the Tok round. The stripped lower I have laying around isn't helping either.
I'm not familiar with...the term..........DI.
Direct Impingement, as in standard AR gas tube operation.

Thanks TXSUT for info. FYI.........I Googled Teppo Jutso (Jetsu) and found info on the .458 SOCOM, a caliber that I had heard of, but nothing on the 7.62x25. There was a drop down but site was under construction. Googled Ronald Williams an just got info on people by that name.......no gun companies.

The last result is a thread containing a pic of some of his uppers he sells. The two matching results are for the Teppo ones.
From the looking around I've done, it seems like Ronald really does some excellent work. You will have to call them for this. There is nowhere to just online order a 7.62x25 upper. Let me know what lead time and price they quote you on these. Sounds like there may be a few on here interested and we could plea for a discount.
