Any more updates on this powerhouse? I don't see too much traction on it yet, and I'm still pondering what it would solve for me over 300 blackout, but those Maker bullets do look pretty good. They look very similar in expansion to my eye with the Maker 110, a pretty good supersonic load. For me, subsonic is not important unless the Morse vs Raoul case in the 2nd District rules in favor of allowing suppressors at the state level.
The 300 blackout does well for me in subsonic, and I have it today. I saw Maker has an 85 grain, only $30/50ct, as does the price on the 110s, I shoot Hornady CXs and that looks like an XLNT alternative. Maybe it makes sense to have less twist in super, that I don't know. The rounds look odd to me, in regard to proportion. I would be the first to admit that 8.6 blackout could be novelty, but Grendel shoots good supersonics in a better proportioned round...just my $0.02, which doesn't mean much. I build for myself, not for anyone else, to date. I don't want anymore gas guns.
