![]() ![]() and today's are probably not much better. ![]() It's not just one barrel it was all early barrels. But it took months, maybe a year, to get it removed.Ĭlick to expand.All the early barrels had issues, Faxon states it's difficulty in making the 3 twist, they were down to 1 twist and decided on 3 twist.so if ya wanted to see what it's about, ya pretty much had to use a crummy barrel.check out the early reviews.where guys state I can't see through it, it looks fuzzy. We were following Faxon recommended load data, which has changed thanks to efforts of early customers they dropped the bullet off the load data that destroyed our equipment and blew was very dangerous. Put a limb saver recoil pad on your AR 15 the 502 gr will go super if ya want, you'll notice the s light, handy, fast, no issues. No special, expensive, not available, iffy, copper bullets, required.some of which state not for 3 twist. If I was subsonic plinking at steel at 500 the 8.6 blackout with 300 gr Berger makes sense.but game around 150 yds or closer the 450 Bushmaster brings more energy, 502 gr subs or 250 gr supers. Cheap bulk 45 cal pistol bullets 185gr to 230 gr, 390 gr Hornaday subs, that can be run as supers to resized 458 502 gr.no issues with any bullet subs or supers mixed, cheap to shoot for reloaders, and brings more energy up close within a 100 yds where most game would be shot. And it delivers over 3000 ft/lbs of muzzle energy from a a lighter AR 15. Their 16 twist will stablize resized 502 gr 458 bullets. It took 2.5 months to get a response, but they said they are under licensing agreement to make 8.6 Blackout 3 twist only.and gave me a coupon for 20% off anything in the store.I took the 450 Bushmaster.turned out to be a better rd for short range work. I asked if they would make me an 8 twist and I would just discard the 3 twist and take the loss and pay them for the 8 twist. But it took months, maybe a year, to get it removed. Here is my best acceptable load for the 8.6 blackout Faxon barrel after lapping& polishing.10 shots 9.4 S/D subsonic.Ĭlick to expand.We were following Faxon recommended load data, which has changed thanks to efforts of early customers they dropped the bullet off the load data that destroyed our equipment and blew was very dangerous. So 1100 fps max for muzzle devices with these lead match bullets to be safe, all subsonic.Ĭopper bullets have not had acceptable accuracy so far.moved on to other projects.īut find the 300 match bullets from Berger and Sierra the only acceptable loads. No other combinations were acceptable accuracy, except for close range hunting.Ģ50 Sierra bt hunting fair keep velocity 1200 fpsĢ85 gr eldm at 1400 fps will blow up before 50 yds. 300 gr SMK 15.8 gr AA 1680 accurate but higher S/D. 300 gr Berger bullets 15.8 gr imr4198, accurate low S/D capable. ![]() What works, opened up the gas port to get bolt carrier lock back. Tried quite a few bullets did a fair amount of damage to muzzle devices and magneto speed bayonet destroyed. ![]() Problem is cartridge design too much capacity for subsonic too little capacity for supersonic. So I lapped it with silicon carbide lapping compound and polished it.the beginning still some galling and torn areas, but the muzzle area was pretty fair. really bad at the beginning as it not enough lube or not enough clearance ground on the button to make the 3 twist. borescope it was the worst barrel ever observed.torn, galled, pitted rifling. ya could not see through it!.what the hell! Put a patch through it pieces of metal, small and long slivers came out. at least I was skeptical.but I had to try it."curiosity killed the cat" first the Faxon 3 twist barrel I got. Yes the 8.6 Blackout has a lot of issues.and they are all true! So another suckered into this 3 twist propaganda. ![]()
