Videos tagged with 375 Raptor

This video conducts a comprehensive comparison of four rifle cartridges: 300 Blackout, 338 Arc, 8.6 Blackout, and 375 Raptor. Through 11 tests including noise, cost, magazine capacity, energy transfer, distance drop, recoil, availability, build difficulty, weight, and ballistics gelatin, the video aims to determine which new rounds can challenge 300 Blackout. The 8.6 Blackout emerges as a strong contender, excelling in energy dump and availability.

This video critically examines the 8.6 Blackout cartridge, questioning its purported advantages, particularly the emphasis on a 1:3 twist rate. The presenter argues that while the cartridge offers more energy than 300 Blackout, its significant bullet drop and limited effective range make it less ideal for hunting compared to other alternatives. The analysis delves into the physics of rotational energy, suggesting its contribution to terminal ballistics is often overstated and that faster twist rates can lead to increased barrel and component wear.
