New 338ARC from Hornady…
- Thread starter sierracharlie338

Dude needs help. I had read some FB post of his years back where he claimed that somehow tapered shoulders made it impossible for suppressor/brake misalignment with the bore (as if you can't cut a taper off center axis????) and I questioned if the dude was all there and that video and subsequent comments have removed all doubt on the matter.
Not gonna lie, when I saw the notification you quoted my post, I thought it was in the non-Pit thread where I was dreaming about a 35 or 37 Creedmoor in the AR10 platform (kinda like a 375 raptor). This had me excited till I saw this is the Pit but the ARC claim is a pretty good second option haha
I went 3/5 on a 1/3 ipsc at 775y this summer but I guess since a 308 isn’t lethal past 600y then the ARC has no hope at 1k
Nothing but Hornady marketing ?It'll be the new crudsnore due to NOTHING but Hornady marketing.
It is nothing new.
It does nothing that hasn't been done for the last 20 years.
But....it'll have millions of Hornady marketing bucks behind it.
I present evidence

Good ammo availability. Bunch of rifles chambered in it. Accurate
Hornady is a gift to the modern day shooter
Maybe not if you love sitting on a stool all day reloading. But for those of us that want to shoot with our limited free time . . .
Who cares about what it costs. If someone wants it they will pay.
The apples to turnips comparison.
..a .338 plinker can't be cheap.... That was some of my thinking "back in the day" about the .338 Whisper #2, I'd no use for subsonic's, and tryin to push bullets designed for the .338 Win Mag fast enough to expand with .221 case seemed unlikely. Hornady can make this work because they can make whatever bullet they need to make it functional/useful.
