Alpha Munitions 8.6 Blackout Rifle Brass 100/Box, Large Rifle Primer

Description

Alpha Munitions has earned its reputation among precision reloaders by doing one thing really well: making brass that holds tight tolerances pass after pass. This 8.6 Blackout rifle brass carries that same pedigree into one of the most interesting cartridges to hit the scene in years. If you've got a rifle chambered in 8.6 BLK and you're tired of chasing factory ammo, loading your own with Alpha brass is the way to get the most out of it.

The 8.6 Blackout is built on a shortened 6.5 Creedmoor case necked up to run a .338 caliber projectile. That design makes it a straightforward caliber conversion for .308 Winchester and AR-10 platforms, since the case head and bolt face match up with 6.5 Creedmoor. It's a dual-purpose round too, capable of pushing a 160 to 225 grain bullet at supersonic speeds or sending a heavy 285 to 350 grain pill downrange subsonic for quiet suppressed work.

What Sets This Alpha 8.6 BLK Brass Apart

Every case is made using Alpha's Optimized Case Design, or OCD, paired with their optimized case head technology. The goal is consistent internal case capacity, uniform neck tension, and a case that's harder through the body but softer at the neck and shoulder for better forming and longer life. The reinforced head is engineered to extend primer pocket life, which matters a lot when you're running the higher pressures and velocities this cartridge is known for.

Primer Size and Packaging on the 8.6 Blackout Brass

This brass is unprimed and set up for large rifle primers, so make sure your load data lines up before you start. It ships in Alpha's signature flip-top plastic case with perforated bi-layer foam, which keeps each piece protected in transit and gives you a handy storage box for your loaded rounds once you've worked up a batch. Made in the USA and ready for your press, this is the kind of brass that rewards careful load development with repeatable results.
