Anyone going with the 338 ARC?

[Dan in Alaska]

I have a couple of different .223 Uppers that I rarely shoot, so I'm thinking of rebarreling one of them to .338 ARC. I'm mainly interested in shooting subsonic, so I'm not sure if I'll go with a 10.5" barrel or a 16" barrel. It might just come down to which length barrel I find in stock first, since I don't have a strong preference either way.

I have a few boxes of factory ammo and a couple Grendel magazines, already. I still need a barrel, BCG, and some reloading dies. I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the Hornady 338 SUB-X to be released in component form, so until then, I might try and burn through my old stash of 200gr Ballistic Tips.

Is anyone else planning to try out the .338 ARC?

Sounds like you have the perfect use case. Myself, no interest. I already have rifles set up for sub hunting. It isn’t big enough caliber for me to deer hunt, so I went with a 358 socom instead. Same concept, just more case capacity and bigger bullet.
