    Default 8.6BLK anyone?

    So I messed around and did a thing and built an 8.6blk upper to go on my large frame lower and pair with my 338 suppressor. Still haven’t shot it or procured ammo yet. Anyone else get into this caliber? Supposed to be spooky quiet.

    I have too many other things on my plate right now to take something like that on, but I might consider it down the road.

    So I’ve been making some 8.6 cartridges since last summer. When I first heard of this round, I never thought I’d get so deep into it. I saw reloading dies for sale, so I bought them. That was the start. Then, I bought 6.5 creedmoor brass and converted them. I already had most of the stuff for making 300 blackout so I didn’t have spend money like crazy on special tools. I made one AR and I have a barrel for a Rem700 that I didn’t do anything with yet. I have Q porq chop awaiting approval too. I haven’t tested my rounds yet, just waiting for the weather to get better.
