In that case, go and load ALL your questionable 6.8's with 85 gr TSX's, use them for crackheads/HD, go buy yourself an AR-10 in 308W, load the 130 gr TTSX's to 2800 fps and kill the hell outta anything.
Gunner BINGO! Winning post, right there. And in 308, we can run them a bit faster than 2800 if we want to.

I dont understand all the hoopla in this thread, when they become available, chrono a box of factory loads, reload to that velocity and accept the little cartridge for what it is. 200 fps means nothing in the real world, would I like to be hit with a 110 gr TTSX at: 2800 fps.....NO 2600 fps.....NO 2400 fps.....NO 2200 fps.....NO  Gunner Look up what velocity those Barnes TTSX need to be going before they expand or instead create a pencil hole. Thats why i hope this round works out. I would like to hunt boar with a 120gr Barnes TTSX. I bought a couple of boxes for my grendel then looked at the reloadding guide and saw the velocities and compared them to the required impact velocity for the Barnes TTSX and shelved the boxes. Can't use them in the Grendel. They simply don't go fast enough. Iv'e tried to back out of this idiocy. But here you go, what Barnes says they need to be going not to pencil. Rule of thumb and thats all. I've run a lot of barnes under what they claim impact speed has to be. Every last one has expanded. And I have seen pictures of some run faster than needed that did not... phuggin computers are great though ain't they. Thanks for your experienced input. That said i'll stick with a manufactures recommendations vs what some anonymous person says on a forum post that can't be validated in anyway.

Sounds like an interesting cartridge to me.
That said, I'll wait for the dies to hit the RCBS standard list before I consider owning it.

But I bring real world experience to this conversation, not some computer calculation. I suspect I may have fired the AR a bit more than most excepting those in combat. And I've a hair of deer shooting experience since we can shoot from 4 or 5 deer up to however many tags you want to pay for in certain areas. But by all means go with what you read and calculate. BTW how are you validating the data the designer is claiming RE this new soon to be out round? Only way you could validate is watch him shoot it or shoot your own over your own chronograph.

Not skeered of wildcats here. At last count I've formed cases for five of them, and have reformed others, when I had a specific reason to do so. Made .22-250's from small primer .308's once, without any special dies. They worked okay, just weren't worth the trouble.

Made .22-250's from small primer .308's once, without any special dies. They worked okay, just weren't worth the trouble. My list of wildcats is fairly extensive as well, including 22K Hornet, 22 Cheetah Mk 1 and MK ll, 22-250AI, 22/204, 6mmAI, 6/284, 250AI, 7mm Mashburn Super, 300 Belted Newton, 338/8mm RemMag, 348AI and I am sure a few others I am forgetting. That said, I do NOT try to make or claim that an itty bitty little cartridge is remotely as good as a bigger one, or that it is even sufficient for game that is way above its pay grade. Who here would have given a second look at a wildcat for a bolt action or lever action rifle that was a 30 Rem or 250 Savage or similar necked down to .277? The collective YAWN such a round would have garnered would be deafening. Yet because this pipsqueak round can be housed in a butt ugly plastic semi automatic rifle that looks sorta like the ones our guys are using in the sandbox, some folks get al giddy about it. Sheesh..... Useable and interesting velocity's are not reachable ulness one drops down to very low SD bullets and / or plays rifle roulette with nutso pressures. Just buy a damned hunting rifle, and leave the matchbox rifles for the purposes they are good at (and very good at those, BTW).

See that's different, because the designer is trying to sell something. No one would ever be led astray by someone trying to sell them something.

Glad you liked my analogy and drawing out of the comparison and folly.
I like my AR's, but I know what they are and are not. Just like my Harley ain't my pickup truck. When I need to do something big, I get the keys to the pickup and don't try to hitch a trailer to the bike, saying it can do it if I just run the RPMS at 6300 the whole way.

That's a very good analogy; I agree. Personally, when using a semi-auto, I have little interest in one chambered for a wildcat cartridge, and zero interest in one which uses expensive parent brass, due to the brass retrieval issue. It's just too easy to lose brass in a field shooting scenario.

I'd still love to pull up beside the feller plinking away with this little anemic prick and wail a 140 TTSX by way of a 7-08 R25 across a 600 yard stretch and biitch slap the gong at the other end.
If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

Ya'd have to wait till I was otu of ammo for my 223 so the gong would quit moving with each hit though. But I'd humor ya at the end of a mag.

yep the louder and bigger you are the badder you are that is a known fact.  Wow another 6.8 caliber AR cartridge...so what. Second if I need more than a 5.56 I will use a bolt gun in one of 3 other calibers I own. I am down to 3 these days... So far 3 pigs and 1 10 point are dead in two years with the 5.56.

Pig shooter, we are just trying to educate you so you have realistic expectations regarding what can, and cannot be done with a new wildcat.
We've seen the promises that never materialize, and know the tricks to maximize velocity.
Once you've lengthened the throat, lengthened the barrel, matched the most modern powder to the barrel length/bullet choice, and increased the case capacity, all that's left is to ramp up the pressure.
Since many of us on this forum own custom rifes and chronographs we've been testing what does, and does not work since the 80's. We are familiar with the effects of custom barrels and changes in OAL.
Oh by the way, if you increase OAL, which way does the pressure go?
You forgot strengthen the bolt.
