Alternative Ammo: 8.6 Blackout vs. .338 Federal
In my last article, I discussed two not-so-niche cartridges: the .243 Winchester and the 6mm Creedmoor. As you’ve probably guessed by now, I tend to go to extremes (it’s unintentional, I swear). This go around, we’re swinging for the fences on niche rounds: the new 8.6 Blackout (BLK) and the .338 Federal.
