Ammo WTB 8.6 Blackout AMMO

Ammunition for sale
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 ammunition in two flavors at the moment. A 285gr ELD-M Subsonic and a 350gr Maker Rex Expanding Subsonic. 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, full-length size, cut to length in a Honey Badger case trimmer to approximately 1.690” which uses a trim die that final forms the neck and shoulder junction while trimming, final trim in a Giraud case trimmer to 1.680”, and final tumble in dry walnut/corn cob media. I check the primer pockets with a primer pocket go/no-go gauge, and check the casing in a Sheridan case gauge before loading.
Do you have a website to purchase through?
