What’s more shocking is 375 Raptor is based off the same 308win case. Subsonic 375 Raptor is 400gr bullets @ 1100fps. Supersonic 275gr @ 2100fps performance easily beats 8.6blk in energy. And you can order a fast twist barrel in 375 Raptor to get the spin energy like the 8.6blk “claims” is superior

[@homebrew2300]

Out of a 12.5 inch barrel at a 1:3 twist the round will make 4.17 revolutions while inside the barrel. Assuming that the MV is around 1 thousand (because you’re running subsonic) we can say that you’re getting around 250,000 RPM at the muzzle. Furthermore, let’s say that you’re running supersonic. Estimated MV of 2,400 doing the same calculation would get you an estimated RPM of 600,000 at the muzzle. For reference a standard .556 out of a 14.5 inch barrel has an RPM of an estimated 340,875. Almost half the speed of the 8.6.

This is according to Q. 8.6 is a 338 cal round in a resized 6.5 creed casing. You can take any ar10 chambered in 308 and all you have to do is swap the barrel for the 8.6 and you can party. No other components are required to convert. Literally exactly like .300blk. I do believe faxon and maybe one other is the only ones currently making barrels

I’ve been saying this for a while: the 8.6 blackout is the US version of a VSS/AS-VAL. Both platforms shoot a bullet that weighs around 300 grains, subsonic, suppressed, and has a crazy amount of energy on impact.

[@LevanDarratt]

I wanted a 375 socom for a while. I think it’s an excellent option. Possibly better than an 8.6… but the things that set it apart from 375/458 socom is magazine capacity and twist rate

The supersonic round in that short of a barrel AR would make a hell of a home defense weapon that would serve multiple things. You could hunt, use it for varmints on a ranch, home protection. It seems to be a multi-purpose round and rifle in a semi-automatic compact design.

[@got556]

Watch GT’s vid with the fix by q, rounds were going thru 3 gel blocks like it was nothing. You better be damn certain you have a round that will expand on penetration or impact else it’s going through the whole house, no matter what it hits.

[@brandonchandler9032]

​@@got556 Round selection is important and always will be. As far as home protection you'll also need to take into account where you live and how many people live in your house or if you're in a apartment whose above, below, and to your left and right.

[@recoilrob324]

The whole modern craze of sub-sonic ammo is exactly like back in the black powder days with limited velocity to stay below the Mach means to increase effectiveness (power) you must increase bullet weight. With the 'Holy Black' the propellant does the limiting and is why there were so many huge cartridges firing massively heavy bullets when large game was being hunted. Now with the need to stay below the Mach...the same method of increasing power is being employed...and I find this interesting. What goes around...comes around.

[@RockinRack]

That's why I never got into 300bo for it's effectiveness at supersonic speeds there's nothing I'm going to shoot that a 223 won't handle and suppresed there's not a huge difference. At subsonic ranges which I would consider home defense ranges a 45acp does the same thing but expands reliably without spending a fortune on fancy bullets. I think 300bo is fun out of a bolt action but I just have no need for it. It's not quiet enough from a gas gun to make it interesting
