As it has been understood that propellant burns more efficiently in shorter, wider-diameter casings, [7] modern ammunition has changed over time to become shorter and wider than previous cartridges. The .30 TC (0.308 in (7.8 mm) x 1.920 in (48.8 mm) is a non-magnum that is somewhat shorter and wider than the .308 and .30-06. [ 1 ]
8.6mm Blackout (8.6×43 mm), also sometimes referred to as 8.6 BLK, [1] is a centerfire rifle cartridge developed by the firearms manufacturer Q, LLC. [6] It utilizes a shortened case from the 6.5mm Creedmoor necked up to an 8.6 mm caliber (8.585 mm or 0.338 in diameter) projectile. 8.6 Blackout is designed for use in bolt-action rifles or as a caliber conversion for AR-10 style rifles.
In 2007, Hornady launched its new 6.5 Creedmoor, also designed to be fed from a short action mechanism. Thought of as a bench-rest competition cartridge rather than a hunting cartridge, it is designed to shoot heavy-for-caliber, high B.C. bullets that need a faster twist to be stabilized.
