Just when you thought 300 Black Out was expensive!

I was looking at this the other day. The video I watched said they can get by with using short barrels because the 1:3 twist spins the bullets so fast that they do more damage, at least in ballistic gel. Solid or bonded bullets are needed so they won't come apart in flight.

Is 8.6 blackout and 8.6 Creedmoor the same thing?

1:3 twist?? That’s awfully fast - wouldn’t that result in a shortening of the barrel life?

It’s why you would only shoot subsonic out of those, which still seems awfully fast to me.
