Most Helpful Negative Review For Bolt action only
I did some more research on this ammo and after lots of fit tests I'm thinking this ammo was manufactured for a Bolt action and not an AR platform. The bullet sets out 1/4" further than the other ammo that I have and doesn't allow it to load properly. Very disappointed

Do not buy

My son in law and each bought 60rds of this ammo and some of it won't load and if it does load it won't cycle. I tried 2 other manufacturers and they both ran fine.

Grade A Ammo

by John Petty, Verified Owner from MS, United States Written on December 12, 2024
Fort Scott Munitions 8.6 Blackout Subsonic 285 Grain CNC Machined Solid Copper Brass Cased Centerfire Rifle Ammunition is fantastic defense ammunition. It produces a 2 inch wide wound cavity in 10% ballistic gel. I does over penetrate, but that's to be expected from 8.6 blackout.
Pros:
  • Wide wound channel
Cons:
  • Over penetration
Best Used for:
  • defense
Would recommend: Yes

Fort Scott 8.6 Blackout

by Ryan, from OH, United States Written on November 11, 2024
I ran through 60 rounds last weekend and they all cycled and were surprisingly accurate. I was also surprised by the recoil or lack of with this round. They all mushroomed uniformly off the steel targets. I would recommend these rounds to anyone with an 8.6 because there's not a ton of options out there and all of them are expensive. I used these with a YHM suppressor and they were easily ear safe. The clank of the steel plate was much louder than the report of the round. The brass case hitting the floor seemed loud compared to the gun!

  • poor build quality

by Bullzeye, Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on August 15, 2024
The ammunition is well made and shoots extremely well. Not a lot of dust. I can’t wait to shoot suppressed with some supersonic.
