Research notes

The 8.6 Blackout was created by Kevin Brittingham from Q LLC and is based on a shortened and necked up 6.5 Creedmoor case to facilitate correct seating and feeding of the long, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets that provide maximum subsonic power from an AR-10 platform. The 8.6 BLK utilizes a 30-degree shoulder.
