Overview
The Hornady Custom Grade 8.6 Blackout 2-die set is the practical foundation for feeding the cartridge. 8.6 Blackout factory ammunition runs $1.89 to over $3.00 per round and is frequently out of stock, so anyone shooting volume reloads. This two-die set covers full-length sizing and bullet seating, the core operations, on standard 7/8-14 threads that fit any common single-stage or progressive press. Hornady is the most widely stocked 8.6 die brand, and the cartridge is a necked-up 6.5 Creedmoor case, so brass and .338 bullets are available from Hornady and others. Pair this set with a single-stage press like the RCBS Rock Chucker or Lee Classic Cast for load development.
