Nick Schafer, designer of the Fix and former model, flew down to South Africa with Crusader Safaris to see how effective subsonic 8.6 BLK really is. His results were clear...
Cool seeing Nick and Mitch show the internal case dimension changes to get more consistent SD’s. Would be awesome to see the engineer boys back on the podcast to talk about designing the Fix, more hunting stories, etc.
Really enjoy the hunt videos you guys are putting out. They are a WELCOMED transition from the heavy breathing, whispering and awkward excitement post shot videos found everywhere else.
Thats cool about the case capacity aluminum case but…i get single digit SD’s with a 350gr maker rex already so how much are these cases going to actually cost? How much of an improvement?
No one cares about subsonic rounds when hunting. Especially hogs. They’re so scary they run at the sound of wind. So, you’re not going to shoot multiple hogs cuz your rifle was quiet.. And seriously, who even considers shooting hogs at 100 yds?? In general, hogs are taken in low brush @ under 25 yds whether in the US or Africa. At that distance there are MANY rounds available that have low recoil and great stopping power and, even more importantly, don’t cost 4 FREAKING DOLLARS A ROUND!!!
I for one appreciate not losing any more hearing than i already have. The only thing i don't understand, if you are limiting yourself to 1000fps, why not use something larger? Everything else being equal, the heavier bullet is going to have more energy. So why not something like a 458 socom with a 400gr or even larger?

I need to get an 8.6 barrel for my Fix already.
I loved the titles for everyone.

The boomer at my shop: “ItS JuST a TrENd!! I have NO InTrEsT.
What a tease, I wanted to see that bullet. Great job though boys.
Me too...👍👍👍
How many inches was barrel on your The Fix ?? Looks like 7” I’m right? Thanks
Does Nick's gun have electrical tape on the trigger guard to press against the mag and fix the feed issue?
when the mega fix?
How did it taste?
Warthog is great
fuck yeah!!!
Nice
As long as it feeds people 💪
What is the barrel length?
8 inch
Thank you
Its crazy how quite that gun is
So quiet 🤫
Lmao former model. 😂
The little flick, just to acknowledge they know their rifle doesn't feed reliably... 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect shot and still ran off….🤷🏻♂️
Not very impressive fo the 8.6 needs more

I think q’s ceo or whatever Kevin b is an asshole for no reason; that being said I assume this is mainly to show off how well it can kill “things”
It's a great test of effectiveness of the round.

@@Z287899the spitzer shape of the 338 has a far better BC than 45 cal rounds able to feed in a 308 length action.
