I got to shoot a 8.6 a while back, pretty fun.
I'm getting ready to cut a few 338 arc barrels soon as I liked the general concept.

I like the short range, suppressed big game potential of 8.6. Some of those copper expander projectiles perform like magnums at a subsonic speed. Whatever game you hit with that would likely be a quick and ethical harvest and really, it does have a decent effective range with that 1/3 barrel twist stabilizing. Its just an interesting cartridge!

I love the 8.6 subs. I shot one and decided, definitely for me. Grabbed a Q Fix with matched suppressor, then developed a subsonic load for it. You'll soon want full speed loads, and then...be careful with the projectiles, they tend to fly apart from centrifugal force.
