Hrrmppffff. 🤨
I like ballistic oddities as much as the next guy… but… yeah. I think I’ll pass. An expensive, big bejeezus bullet poking down range at really close ranges doesn’t really do anything for me. Fact is I personally don’t have any use or interest in the 300 Blackout either… or any of the other AR15 oddballs with the possible exception of the 6.5 Grendel.
But mind you - all I do is punch paper these days as a gun club duffer. Maybe the squaddies or cops might have a use for it..? Any thoughts - leave ‘em in the comments and we can fight about it there!
😊👍
The only thing that would make that even mildly interesting to me would be if suppressors were allowed on rifles while hunting. Then, subsonic has some appeal.
ReplyDeleteBut if suppressors are illegal (as a general rule), then give me a round that stays above 2000fps out to 200 yards so I benefit from flat trajectory and reliable expansion.
What specialty projectiles are available in .338?
ReplyDeleteLike a shiny new fishing lure, the whole purpose of a new cartridge is to sell gear to guys.
ReplyDelete.338 ARC - "Psst, hey dude. I know you already have 12 AR rifles. But you still need 1 more, cause look!! Shiny new caliber. You know you want it, go ahead and drop another grand or two on something you wife doesn't need to know about."
The guy in the vid defeats the entire purpose of it by mentioning a .45 ACP in a carbine with a suppressor. He claims the .338 ARC has more range, but if you needed more range why are you shooting sub-sonic ammo thru a can? I'd rather have the .45 ACP carbine myself.
