8.6 Blackout Trajectory Calculator

The 8.6 Blackout really shines as a subsonic performer, and with these default ballistic settings - a G1 drag model, .700 ballistic coefficient, and 285-grain bullet moving at 1,056 fps - you're looking at a capable round that could reach out to 300 yards. As you can see, it's zeroed at 100 yards, which is perfect for most hunting and target shooting setups where you're keeping things subsonic.

But here's the thing - your actual results might vary depending on your specific load and conditions. That's why we've made it easy to punch in your own numbers below. Maybe you're shooting in Wyoming where the altitude affects things, or you're dealing with a tricky crosswind on your local range. No problem - just plug in your wind speed and angle, shooting angle, and even environmental data like temperature and pressure if you want to get really dialed in.

Take a look at the trajectory chart and table below to see how your subsonic load performs at different distances. The step size is set to 25 yards by default, giving you a detailed picture of bullet drop and energy out to 300 yards. When you're ready to customize this to your exact setup, just hit the Modify Calculation button and input your specific data. It's that simple to get precise trajectory info for your particular load and shooting conditions.
