Long story short, I had some interest in getting an 8.6 blackout and suppressing it. While doing some Googling on the caliber I came across a couple of threads on snipers hide forum that made me reconsider and made mention of 375 Raptor as a caliber that basically does the same thing better, but doesn't have all the Q hype behind it.
What info I have been able to find is interesting, to me at least. The only things that are slightly keeping 8.6 in my consideration for now are ammo availability, which doesn't seem much better than 375R at the moment, and the fact that I already have a suppressor that will handle 8.6.
If I were to get either of these calibers, I would probably be building it as a 12 inch SBR AR-10. Most likely would be going with a Mos-tek barrel for either one since I could the 8.6 in something other than 1 in 3 twist.
I was hoping someone here has more knowledge about one or both calibers that they can share or possibly some experience with either one?
