    8.6 Creedmoor

    Q is calling it the “300blk’s big brother” and “300blk for men.”

    As is typical of Q marketing, they will gain hype for the caliber, make a short bolt gun for it (SBR and pistol versions) which will release 6 months from now as they trickle in a large frame honey badger and matching can.

    If it catches on, I’ll be tempted. I have an Form 1 Mega Maten lower that has no practical use.... yet.

    Lol Q’s marketing....Trust me it will be sweeeeet.

    That pretty much sums up every interview and press release I’ve seen. Lots of unsubstantiated claims.

    I hate to sound like a fan boy but every Q product that has come through the shop that I have gotten to use has been outstanding & extremely well thought out .
    And as far as their cans they have been some of the quietest & most pleasant toned ones I've ever shot . And I'm not saying this just to try to get a free 8.6 Fix .........Kevin , Kevin you there ?

    Because he’s advertising it in a Bolt Gun? All I’ve seen is Bolt Gun related hosts. The one article at TFB mentioned nothing about a gas gun. I didn’t have time to read the second doubly long article

    That’s why I said “I may be wrong here...”

    And how am I supposed to know, without question, that it’ll function a gasser by looking at a bolt gun photo and a bullet schematic?

    You could simply say “No, there’s definitely gas gun potential here”. And I would’ve said “okay thanks”.

    Since bolt guns don't cycle the way the article implies, there you go.
    There's no "Team" in F**K YOU!

    Found some pics of pretty much the same thing they are claiming as groundbreaking. Lol After seeing those case dimensions I’m even less impressed. Nothing but a Ackley Improved .338 Federal.

    Can this be made from 308 brass?

    I’d be more interested in seeing development on .358win in the AR308 platform. Much wider array of bullet weights and a more substantial increase in diameter over .308”.

    There is a wildcat called the 358 Yeti. It is a similar idea.

    Seems the yeti is for the AR15 sized frame. The .358 Winchester is an existing cartridge based from the .308 win and is the same OAL, so mag capacity would be the same as .308 in an AR10/LR308 platform.

    Yes. The Yeti is designed to work in an AR15. Still, I imagine it would work okay in an AR10 with something like a Sierra 225gr SBT.

    The question is how well the Yeti or Winchester cartridge works in a standard AR10 mag. Will they stack okay and give full mag capacity? This might be why Q went with a .338 bullet.
