About 8.6 Blackout Ammunition
The 8.6 Blackout cartridge is a recent addition to the market, introduced in 2022 by Q, LLC. At its core, the cartridge utilizes a .338 caliber projectile with a shortened 6.5 Creedmoor case and is optimized for use in short barrels. Specifically, the round is at home in firearms with barrel lengths ranging from 9β to 12β. The use of a 6.5 Creedmoor case allows the cartridge to be utilized in magazines designed for the .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor without reducing capacity. The cartridge features a manageable and tame recoil impulse, something not normally associated with rounds utilizing a .338 projectile. Heavier projectile weights allow the cartridge to be loaded to subsonic specs, purpose built for suppression. The loadings with grain weights of 300 grains and higher are particularly optimal for this use as they ensure velocities stay subsonic even out of some of the longer barrels on the market.Types of 8.6 Blackout Loadings
When you shop 8.6 Blackout ammunition, the two details to read first on any listing are the grain weight and the bullet type. Grain weight largely determines whether a load is built for suppressed, subsonic shooting. Bullet type tells you what the load is designed to do on target.- Subsonic Loadings: Heavier projectile weights allow 8.6 Blackout to be loaded to subsonic specs for suppressed shooting. Grain weights of 300 grains and higher are particularly well suited to this use, since velocities stay subsonic even out of some longer barrels.
- Tumble Upon Impact (TUI): These types of loadings from Fort Scott Munitions are designed to maximize the damage inflicted on vital organs upon impact. Like the name suggests, these defensive loadings are purpose-built to promote internal tumbling after impact. The result is a dynamic wound cavity and staggering internal damage, providing a user with potent fight-stopping capabilities.
