just as title says I’m looking for some 8.6 bullets and or ammo let me know wat you have at 931310132five thanks in advance
UPDATED 1/14/23 - I am a Licensed Manufacturer of Small Arms Ammunition Other Than Destructive Devices - Halworx Ballistics LLC (682) 552-9479

I manufacture 8.6 Blackout ammunition and currently offer 3 loads at the moment. A 285gr ELD-M Subsonic, a 300gr SMK, and a 350gr Maker Rex Expanding Subsonic. I will most likely phase out the 285gr ELD-M since everyone prefers the heaviest possible projectiles. I use Hornady once-fired brass. The process is I wet tumble in stainless steel tumbling pin media, dry tumble in walnut/corn cob media, anneal in an AMP Annealer MkII, partial size and cut to length in a Honey Badger case trimmer to approximately 1.685”, full-length size and final trim in a Giraud case trimmer to 1.675”, then final tumble in dry walnut/corn cob media, load, and check the casing in a Sheridan case gauge to ensure it passes.

If anyone needs just brass, I can convert your once fired 6.5 Creedmoor brass. I’m not sure what other brands work but so far I’ve only tried Hornady, Prime, RP, Federal, and Winchester. Cost to convert is .60 per piece. Cost to just anneal and send back is .20 per piece + S&H.

I manufacture 8.6 Blackout. I use once fired Hornady 6.5 brass, I anneal them in a AMP annealer, then size, anneal again, then final size and trim in a Honey Badger Case Trimmer and load with Maker 350gr Rex for hunting and Hornady 285gr ELD-M for target. All subsonic. I’m a licensed FFL manufacturer. Before I ship out I check them in a Faxon barrel that’s not attached as a case gauge since no one made one yet. Ammo comes in a white 20rd cardboard box with styrofoam trays with my company logo and load info for barrel length and velocity.
Quick update…when ordering, at the moment I have only load data for the 16” and 12”. I’m looking to acquire an 8” so I can change this. Also, bullets in the 350gr Maker Rex are on back order so at the moment I can only take orders for the 285gr ELD-M until I get a resupply. I’m currently working with a payment processor to get setup to accept credit card payments in the near future.

Hey DacianMH, how do I get in touch with you to order some 8.6 Blk ammo? I'm building a 16" on an AR platform for a friend and he will need some ammo. Thanks David
