Looks line a necked up 308 case for .375.

They are claiming 270g pill traveling at 2,200fps from a 12" barrel


All from an AR-10 platform

My 16” .308 bangs hard. I can imagine what this beast feels like. A 12” hunting pistol would be awesome though.

Black collar makes some sweet bolt pistols in 300blk and 308, I'm sure they will do one in their own raptor

My 35 gunner does 2100fps from a 10" bsrrel with a 250gr bullet, but wait for this...............from the ar15 magazine.
A 375 is nice but In the ar10 the best bet is the 358 winchester that, like the 35 whelen for long action rifles, gives magnun type killing power from a very economic and popular casing and bullet assortment.
One can even use 9mm and 357 pistol bullets for practice and hunting for a fraction of the cost and with a huge assortment of bullets.
Shoot as flat as the 308 and 338 federal but with a lot more killing power.
Pretty effective to take even the largest game on this continent like moose and grizly.

There is also a 45 Raptor out there, interesting cartridge though.

These new calibers have to stop! I can’t focus. Lol.

I need something to stop me. It’s an addiction. Maybe another gun scare to drive up prices would work lol.

The question is which ones will stick and what wont.

This came right about the time that Q finally announced more info (not much) about their 8.6

 

[Airborneguy]

Wtf is that monstrosity?

 

[dsdmmat]

The 375/08 has been around forever the 375 raptor is just the sexy name for it.

I knew someone who had a .375 H&H magnum and that gun scared the crap out of me, lol.

That is the 8.6..

8.6 is to the 308 what the 300blk is to 5.56 (based on what information Q is putting out)
