Which caliber would you use to suppress for hogs/coyotes? Any suggestions? I like the look of this rifle.

Depends on how suppressed you want it...

I have a 300 BLK I carry with me when we have a questionable deer shot or hogs and I typically shoot it supressed with supersonic rounds. It's quiet but still have a crack of the sound barrier but kills them dead. Then you can also sight in for subsonic which will kill a pig but at much less range.

A more interesting round is the 8.6 Blackout it shoots a much bigger bullet and at a much bigger range still subsonic. My partner in my place just got one we shot a deer and several armadillos at over 100 yards with it totally quiet subsonic 280 grain bullet. It was impressive the damage it caused and the range of a subsonic bullet. IMO after seeing it it's what I would get if I were to do it over again.
