This video critically examines the 8.6 Blackout cartridge, questioning its purported advantages, particularly the emphasis on a 1:3 twist rate. The presenter argues that while the cartridge offers more energy than 300 Blackout, its significant bullet drop and limited effective range make it less ideal for hunting compared to other alternatives. The analysis delves into the physics of rotational energy, suggesting its contribution to terminal ballistics is often overstated and that faster twist rates can lead to increased barrel and component wear.
