Product Overview
>>The 338 ARC was developed to compete with the 300 Blackout and 8.6 Blackout for mainly suppressed subsonic use. It is able to run the heavier .338 calibre bullets like the 8.6 Blackout so it has more energy than the 300 Blackout, but is still able to run in the AR-15 platform unlike the 8.6. It is capable of supersonic loadings as well, but keep in mind that many of the .338" hunting type bullets were designed for the large magnum calibres and may not perform properly on game at the slower velocities. Many companies are putting out bullets designed to expand at the subsonic velocities that would work well in this cartridge for hunting applications.
