Q | Hunting South Africa | Subsonic 8.6 BLK vs Warthog

Nick Schafer, designer of the Fix and former model, flew down to South Africa with Crusader Safaris to see how effective subsonic 8.6 BLK really is. His results were clear...

Cool seeing Nick and Mitch show the internal case dimension changes to get more consistent SD’s. Would be awesome to see the engineer boys back on the podcast to talk about designing the Fix, more hunting stories, etc.

More 8.6 content! Love this!

[@jeffhuntley2921]

Wanted to see the recovered projectile

[@jozefhorvat3625]

Yes 👍👍👍

[@errongunter7316]

Really enjoy the hunt videos you guys are putting out. They are a WELCOMED transition from the heavy breathing, whispering and awkward excitement post shot videos found everywhere else.

[@berryreading4809]

That reduced volume aluminum case design is brilliant... I could definitely see that becoming the thing for all precision loads in all subsonic rifle calibers 🤔 But I'm no rocket surgeon like these highly capable enginerds... 😉👍( Gonna have to do another secret leaker engineer podcast again soon!)

The boomer at my shop: “ItS JuST a TrENd!! I have NO InTrEsT.

[@DMHal01]

Thats cool about the case capacity aluminum case but…i get single digit SD’s with a 350gr maker rex already so how much are these cases going to actually cost? How much of an improvement?

[@taylor3880]

Enjoying these hunting videos with cool gear. Do more

[@qllc8143]

That's the plan!

[@Will-Mc09]

I need to get an 8.6 barrel for my Fix already.

[@Will-Mc09]

I loved the titles for everyone.

[@raptor1958]

How many inches was barrel on your The Fix ?? Looks like 7” I’m right? Thanks

[@gunner76]

"Let's fuckin mic drop and go home!" - Hilarious!!

[@ericschott5100]

Does Nick's gun have electrical tape on the trigger guard to press against the mag and fix the feed issue?

[@jamesalexander7398]

Nice

[@teo59]

when the mega fix?

[@user-jh6fg7oc1s]

Hey guys it’s me Nick Seppies oldest son wen are you coming to shoot springbuck again. Me and Mitch we shooting lots 11 I think and with James

[@derrictaylor1181]

What a tease, I wanted to see that bullet. Great job though boys.

[@jozefhorvat3625]

Me too...👍👍👍

[@AA-yx2kf]

How did it taste?

[@qllc8143]

Warthog is great

[@t1tan19]

fuck yeah!!!

[@wintonhudelson2252]

What is the barrel length?

[@qllc8143]

8 inch

[@wintonhudelson2252]

Thank you

[@illestdomer2005]

As long as it feeds people 💪

[@JohnDough1776]

Its crazy how quite that gun is

[@Synthesis..]

So quiet 🤫

[@soggycracker5934]

The little flick, just to acknowledge they know their rifle doesn't feed reliably... 🤣🤣🤣

[@Liftedpsd2010]

Lmao former model. 😂

[@UrR2KBA]

Perfect shot and still ran off….🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lucastonoli3256]

.375 Raptor.

[@jeffreywilson690]

Not very impressive fo the 8.6 needs more

[@noahgrady3628]

No one cares about subsonic rounds when hunting. Especially hogs. They’re so scary they run at the sound of wind. So, you’re not going to shoot multiple hogs cuz your rifle was quiet.. And seriously, who even considers shooting hogs at 100 yds?? In general, hogs are taken in low brush @ under 25 yds whether in the US or Africa. At that distance there are MANY rounds available that have low recoil and great stopping power and, even more importantly, don’t cost 4 FREAKING DOLLARS A ROUND!!!

[@alexmaurice4274]

I think q’s ceo or whatever Kevin b is an asshole for no reason; that being said I assume this is mainly to show off how well it can kill “things”

[@rilesmattix5217]

It's a great test of effectiveness of the round.

[@Z287899]

I for one appreciate not losing any more hearing than i already have. The only thing i don't understand, if you are limiting yourself to 1000fps, why not use something larger? Everything else being equal, the heavier bullet is going to have more energy. So why not something like a 458 socom with a 400gr or even larger?

[@praharin]

@@Z287899the spitzer shape of the 338 has a far better BC than 45 cal rounds able to feed in a 308 length action.
