The 8.6 Blackout is a 6.5 Creedmoor case that has been shortened and blown out to make a.338 bullet. Supersonic: between 150 and 160 grains We can get close to 2400 FPS from a 12″ barrel. We will be able to subsonic up until about 360 grains. A Barnes 210-grain bullet [is] approximately 2,000 feet per second from a 12′” barrel.”- Q’s Kevin Brittingham. It is claimed that there is more energy than with a.308 win, even with a very short barrel. Cartridge inventors have a very radical 1 to 3 twist rate. Yes, that’s right — one in three.

This is a noteworthy release considering that Springfield Armory just last month released an updated Hi-Power clone called the SA-35. It won the American Rifleman Handgun of the year award. STORY HERE. Which is better, the modernized American-made SA-35 or FN’s classic Hi-Power? The market will decide. Time will tell.
