    8.6 Blackout / Creedmoor

    Any have real life experiences with accuracy on the 8.6 subsonic and range? Just looking for a new build.

    Why call it 8.6 and not .338 BO, since the other one is .300 and not 7.62 BO? That bugs me.

    Sounds like another opportunity for kabooms unless one has ammo discipline. Probably not a worry for most but certainly something to be aware of...

    "The 8.6 Blackout is a .338 caliber cartridge created with the same general concept as the .300 Blackout except for the bigger AR-10 pattern guns. It has case head dimensions and overall length identical to .308 Winchester which in conjunction with the overall shape of the cartridge allows loading unmodified AR-10 magazines to their full capacity."

    If I remember correctly Ivan at Kit Badger did a video with a Fix in 8.6 a good while ago.

    Gee, I wonder if they can match the resounding success of .338 Federal?

    A 155 grain 338 round? That thing has to be a short blunt bullet.
