This is cool shit. I agree with your assessment on 338 ARC. I love to see Walter, Q, Noveske, Shellshock, and Discreet Ballistics pushing innovation even if the greater public doesn't yet recognize the significance.

I'm curious to see how this load performs in a Boombox. I'm wondering if we need a two position gas block to handle the pressure difference between +P+ and subs. It seems as though Q is able to get a single port size to work with traditional pressure supers and subs, but I hope they work on a two position gas block to accommodate this spread in pressure. Something similar to Sig's that is a simple two position setting gas block.

I hope Noveske is also working on a short 6mm creedmoor barrel. I'd love to see what is possible with hybrid 6cm in a short 16" barrel as compared to a 6 ARC.

Kinda figured, promising that people are paying attention and developing stuff.
