Another new cartridge........8.6 Blackout.

[Timmy59]

On store shelves in 2024, $10 bucks a round.

Just.. why?

Who was sitting there one day and said "What I want is a rifle cartridge that wears out barrels quickly, isn't available, and is hella expensive. But at least it's slow and quiet."

Kevin Brittingham, not a fan.

He's a pompous ass but he knows his stuff. I have a Q rimfire can and love it.
I didn't purposely buy it tho, I fully expected to be outbid. It was definitely a learning experience on my first stamp.

I've heard very little about Q. What can you tell us?

Way cool.

 

[AKguy1985]

Very interesting

I would think that with a twist that fast is for shooting very heavy bullets subsonic.

just as the .300 blackout started as JD Jones .300 whisper. This .338 is his .338 whisper. This isn’t new.

This cartridge is at least 30 years old.
