I'm with "Drive" - lots of different options, trade-offs and thus different choices. I have a Rock River Arms 458 SOCOM upper on a Noveske N4 lower. I'd take that hog hunting in a heartbeat.
Would not take it deer hunting, just cuz I'd rather use something in the ~.30 range, and the bullet weight of the 458 makes the bullet drop pretty steep beyond 200-250 yards.
But it's all trade-offs.... I personally like the stopping power of the 458, and the standard PMAGs fit the rounds and cycle well in the platform. But like the guys using the 6.8's, you have to be prepared to deal with "non-standard" ammo (harder to find, more expensive).
