Basically every lesson that we learned from .300 Blackout whether its barrel twist or bullet design, we put into this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt started as a joint project with a foreign military, and some of our special operations groups are now involved with it,\u201d Brittingham says. \u201cThat\u2019s always exciting to us, but we really wanted to do something for the commercial market for hunting.

With that bullet, he will get 1950 fps out of a 12-inch barrel. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, it\u2019s like shooting somewhere between a .308 Win. and a .300 Win. Mag,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it\u2019s a 5-pound gun with a 12-inch barrel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brittingham has examined bullets from 155 to 225 grains for supersonic masses. He\u2019s shot as much as 350-grain bullets in subsonic. \u201cI\u2019ve shot 30 animals in Africa with subsonic 8.6 with Hornady 315-grain Sub-X bullet,\u201d Brittingham mentioned. That 315-grain Sub-X isn\u2019t obtainable but, but it surely\u2019s anticipated to be a part of Hornady\u2019s .338 Sub-X line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maximizing subsonic ammo efficiency is a problem as a result of decrease velocity and protecting the ammo from going supersonic in longer barrels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s the problem with subsonic ammo: You need to load for barrel length to get the best performance,\u201d Brittingham says. To clear up for this, he says there might be barrel-length particular ammo obtainable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-the-upshot\">The Upshot<\/h2>\n<p>New cartridges pop up on a regular basis, and currently, they\u2019ve trended towards flat taking pictures and long-range efficiency. The 8.6 Blackout is totally different. It\u2019s meant for medium-range purposes and lightweight, quick rifles. It has promising outcomes from Brittingham\u2019s testing, however solely time will inform if it may acquire sufficient traction to really tackle the .300 Blackout.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v3.2\" id=\"facebook-js-js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] What for those who may have a 6-pound gun with a 16-inch barrel to hunt all the things from whitetails to Cape buffalo?
