Maxim Defense 8.6 Blackout 235gr SBA Ammunition

Optimized for Short-Barrel Performance

Short-barrel rifles deliver unmatched handling in close-quarters scenarios, but they often sacrifice the velocity and terminal ballistics of their longer-barreled counterparts. Maxim Defense addressed this limitation by developing ammunition specifically engineered for SBR platforms.

Advanced Terminal Design

Working in partnership with Fort Scott Munitions, Maxim Defense created loads that maximize ballistic performance from reduced barrel lengths. The ammunition features:

• Match-grade solid copper projectiles for consistent, reliable performance
• TUI (Tumble Upon Impact) technology that induces controlled tumbling for devastating wound cavities
• Tumbling performance down to 500 fps, ensuring terminal effectiveness even at extended ranges
• Superior wound ballistics that exceed the standards of conventional expanding and fragmenting rounds

The Right Tool for the Job

This ammunition represents a thoughtful engineering solution for shooters who demand both the handling advantages of short-barrel rifles and the terminal performance of full-power rifle rounds. Each 20-round box delivers consistent, predictable results downrange.
