Coyotes and hogs are best hunted with AR platform rifles. Not that it matters but the AR is a hunting rifle. 6.5 Creedmoor can be used to hunt almost any medium to large game in North America.
You realize I referred to it as a platform and also mentioned an uncommon caliber of the AR-10(6.5 Creed)?
5.56 is good for hunting hogs and stuff like coyotes. So the most generic straight up AR people think of is indeed used for hunting. Plus the modularity of the weapon system allows for a wide range of applications ranging from .22lr to .50 cal. Add in all the abilities to attach accessories and it's easily the most useful rifle available to Americans.
I like you! Just figured you were a normie when it came to guns (look at the bs we see online every day). When I went hog hunting in TX, I preferred a 300 blackout upper since it has a bit more knock down power compared to the 5.56 or 223, but effective range was a bit limited. Since the inception of the new big game rounds developed, I have taken a liking to my 350 legend as it has some umph while not much more recoil than a 223, and bullets are fairly cheap (and available) for a larger caliber. 450 is another hole puncher, but the recoil and sound report is ridiculous and seems to have more cycling problems. Of course, the 223 or 556 nato has a extended range, but through a typical AR barrel it isn't too much farther when it come to precision for a typical shooter.
Love the 6.5 in a bolt for extended range shooting as it puts my old Savage 270 to shame.
My biggest issue lately is lack of ammo in general. Hard to find powder to even reload in these parts. Reverted back to the old 220 swift for smacking the yotes since I don't feel like burning through my other ammo stache at the moment.

Also the 2nd Amendment is not for hunting.
