8.6 Blackout (Load Development)

8.6 Blackout (Load Development)
Warning! A parts-build AR-10 with a 16-inch Faxon barrel (1:3 twist) with a Steiner T5Xi 3-15x 50mm scope set in a 34mm Spuhr ISMS (Ideal Scope Mount System) 0 MOA cantilever mount was used for all testing. New Starline 8.6 Blackout brass, Federal 210 large rifle primers, Lee Precision dies and an Area 419 ZERO Reloading Press were used to assemble all loads. Velocity was established by a Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph. Accuracy is the result of a single 3-shot group.
