    To add insult to injury and to piss all over JD's grave someone is now releasing an "8.6 Creedmoor" ( .338 Blackout)... yip a cut down 6.5 Creedmoor case necked up to .338cal.

    AKA .338 WHISPER which was a 7BR case necked up to .338cal yip... exactly the same.. it shot 300gr subsonic bullets out of a 1-8" twist barrel and supersonic 160gr to 2600fps.
    Notice the constant reference comparing it to the .338 Federal and no reference to the fact its just a .338 Whisper. AKA .338BR... the very same wildcat round that's been around for 20 years.

    I have a 300 whisper,built by Lukas on a CZ 527 varmint.HS Precision stock.cases from 221 fireball.
    My understanding of the 240grn matchking is not a tumble,the fast twist is upset on impact to Yaw.

    Duh! as in the artical.

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
