Good Video. With my 6mm ARC & AR15 using a 20 Faxon barrel from Brownells and with a Hornady 108gr ELD-M bullet and 29.7 grs of Leverevolution Im getting 2711 and hitting a Dime at 600 yards cold bore shot..I Got Lucky..LOL Im also using a Silencerco Omega Suppressor.This gun shoots .25 MOA or better consistantly with hand loads.Its very accurate if I dont mess up.Great Video Dave..Thanks

I've watched every one of your videos as well as others using the 6ARC in an AR. I've got quite a bit of experience with bolt rifles, but ARs are a new experience. Being a recently new reloader, while I am waiting on my complete upper to be delivered, I am prepping my reloading for this caliber by finding multiple brass sources and figuring out how to anneal and resize both 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39 brass. Thanks for this video using LeverRevolution powder, since the data shows this has been producing high velocities, but very little field experience with accuracy and precision. God bless, Dave.
@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009
@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 3 года назад
Thanks Robert. AR's are less forgiving as far as case prep is concerned. If you are going to resize brass from other calibers, I would invest in a chamber, headspace and case length gauge. Wilson and Hornady make these cartridge specific gauges. After all, if a cartridge won't safely or reliably chamber, what happens after doesn't matter. Thanks for your comment and for watching.

Man I see all these dudes on YT trying to work up loads for 6ARC and get very inconsistent results . You've been at it 6 to 8 months less than them and already found the right now load with excellent results. Congrats bro

I've been watching several YT'ers shooting the 6mm ARC, and one thing I'm picking up is most of them are having some problem with accuracy in ARs, not so much in bolt-action rifles. Not that the AR accuracy isn't good, at least in hunting terms, just not as good as what bolt actions are producing.
@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009
@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 3 года назад
(Bolt action, semi-auto, lever action and pump action) have their own inherent differences. In my personal experiences, precision is better in a bolt action. However, accuracy comes from a combination of rifle, ammunition's, shooter's ability and consistency. The largest factor in accuracy is the operator. The elite completion shooters have thousands of rounds downrange and sub MOA is only acceptable to them. For me, as a hunter, hopefully needing only 1 shot and done, consistency and confidence of bullet placement on target is the highest priority, regardless of group size or platform. Thanks for watching.

No I don't...In a previous video using .243 caliber hunting bullets, the ogive was running into the jam in less than recommended COAL. The ARC is designed for those longer sleeker higher BC bullets and I am limited by magazine length. So I just go by the book recommendation and adjust seating for consistency of feeding.

See my 6mm ARC playlist for a more thorough discussion on load work up. Yes, I started with Gas gun data and with a 24" barrel expected 150fps increase in speed. I worked up a little at a time to the de-constructed factory cartridge similar powder weight then changed to different powder experimentations. Thanks for your question.

What are you using to drop your charges?
@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009
@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 3 года назад
Each cartridge "powder charge" is individually measured using a digital scale and Lee dippers.
@DMHal01
@DMHal01 3 года назад
@@davestrohmeyer-saddleupsho8009 would you mind telling me what digital scale you’re using? It’s been my experience that if the digital scale is not a lab certified scale with a certified weight to calibrate then you could be off by as much as 2/10 of a grain. Look into a AutoTrickler v3 with an FX120i if you’re having any issues with charge weight or ES. In the 6mmARC it’s crucial to be exact since we’re trying to squeeze out the best accuracy.
