I'm finally ready to build my first 300, but I've had trouble finding a lot of information for this specific type of build.

I live in Cali, so I need a 16" barrel and I will not be running a can. I plan to use this gun for hog hunting. I'd like to be able to shoot supersonic for hogs out to 200-250 yards AND shoot the heavier sub-sonics for up close and personal action in the brush.

So here are my questions:

1) With a 16" is it reasonable to expect to shoot both super and sub sonics?
2) Assuming I can use a 16" barrel to shoot both super and sub sonics, would I be better off using a pistol or carbine length gas tube length?
3) Rate of fire is not a concern, but recoil is always a concern. With that in mind, I was leaning towards a full auto bolt carrier. Are there any potential issues with this that could cause the rifle to not cycle properly?
4) Again with a focus on reducing recoil, could a heavier buffer cause any potential issues?
5) Finally, I'm a single-stage trigger kinda guy when it comes to hunting rifles. Would a Timney 3.5 lb. single-stage have issues with the larger primers on a 300 BLCK?

Thanks!
