8.6 BLK Dies are HERE 8.6 Blackout Reloading

we have accurate 1680 and dies, just need 338 projectiles and some load development.

[@EagleReloads]

google D Wilson Mfg. He has dies! (last I checked) also Lee Precision, join their waitlist as they are sold out frequently.

[@warrenginn8448]

Juat built an ar10 in 8.6. 12 inch barrel. 13.2 grains of 1680 gets me subsonic with 285gr barnes tsx. Wont cycle. Opening up the gas port now then playjng the buffer game. Going to test h110 and cfe black powders as well. Love the channel!!

hunter from germany here, currently trying to build a r700 in 8.6 which is super hard over here because of restrictions. loved your vid

[@Haroldandbob]

my man lee had it for 56 bucks shipped, now pack them puppies

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

Always interesting as new rounds appear 1680 is a great powder from everything good friends have told me

[@echosreloadingchamber7306]

Can't wait to see some loads with 1680 it's one of my favorites. Echo

[@caldeio]

Nice!

[@F3d3xdad]

1680 is a great powder for subsonics

[@t-bar-mranch1074]

Use Hornady 65 creed brass so you won't have to turn the necks and deal with complications that come from 308 brass

[@NeckbeardActual]

ill bet there is a lot of overlap between 300 and 8.6 blk powders. 1680 always runs guns , but its dirty.

[@EagleReloads]

I have a list of other powders to try. many smarter than I working on that too. the data shows 300 blk and even 6.5 staball.

[@adjusting2traveling400]

I finally found a Faxon 8.6 barrel to start my build.

[@EagleReloads]

excellent, welcome to the obsession! haha

[@caldeio]

What brass did you end up going with?

[@EagleReloads]

right now, i am reloading the brass i have shot and ordered 1000 308 cases that ill convert. more on that this fall.

[@jack3927417]

Are there any small base 8.6blk dies to help the reloaded ammo function in AR builds?

[@EagleReloads]

I am not sure what you mean. small primer? I have made 1000's of rounds and shot 1000's of factory loads from the mfgs, they all pretty much function well. This caliber was intented and designed for semi auto and full auto. so feeding was a priority in the design.

[@jack3927417]

@@EagleReloads a small base die undersizes the cartridge’s diameter a few thousandths of an inch to aid in feeding/ejection reliability. The round uses a 6.5 Creedmoor case which definitely wasn’t designed for cycling reliability in semi-auto rifles.

[@jack3927417]

Can you do me a favor and measure the case’s base diameter on a few different rounds you’ve reloaded using that Hornady 8.6 die and let me know what they all measure out to?

[@bluegrass4840]

Which suppressor did you end up going with?

[@EagleReloads]

I have not ordered yet, but looking at the Dead Air Primal

[@bluegrass4840]

@@EagleReloads me too! Options are slim for what I want but the primal fits the bill and it isn't crazy expensive

[@Haroldandbob]

@@EagleReloads I also went with the primal, the plan is a plan B xl when q releases those and a bored out 30 cal cap to .339. You could wait for a pork Chop to be released, but you're about as patient as I when it comes to this cartage. I'll be reloading my first brass in a few weeks, I'll let you know how it goes homie dawg

[@rayjones463]

a bolt action all ways cycles right

[@EagleEyeShooting]

6.5 Creedmoor Hornady Brass works for easy conversion. I know you don't watch my channel

[@tobberfutooagain2628]

$140 for dies? Insanity…..
