Been playing with a Faxon bolt in 8.6 blackout in MDT stock with timney trigger. Tried the 300 Maker bullets and after 60 bullets, 4 powders, and 4 primers came to conclusion that this barrel does not like the maker 300. Best group was about 4 inches at 100, with some over 12 inches.
Tried some factory 285 Gorilla and gun obviously loves them. Test to see with barrel was any good. Factory was around 988 fps and 1.5 inches. Worked out that with Gorilla 285, BR2 primers and LiL Gun from 13.4-13.6 and results were 1.5-2 inch groups and MV 1060 to 1045. Used Nomax 33 and super quiet.
Interesting side note that Faxon is sensitive to primer seating depth and likes them seated really deep with no space.
that 1-3 twist will also shred any jacketed bullets.
