I've taken 2 coyotes with this bullet, out of a 20" Howa mini @2760fps. One at 210 yards and one at 145 yards. Bang-flop. Excellent performance. Neither bullet exited the other side. Great video!!
I Have 4 Of These 6mm ARC’S. The Cartridge Is Just That Good & Is My Truck. Home & Precision Shooting Out Past 1100 Yards & Some Change On Full Silhouettes With The Right Finger Behind The Trigger To Deal With The Variables. Regardless Its My Go To Rifle Every~Time. Excellent Coverage. Keep It Coming. 👍🤛🇺🇸
I was debating whether or not to try this exact ammo on does here in Texas. I like neck shots, but did not know what this round would do. After looking at your gel tests, I think it will work perfectly on a neck shot. Thanks for the info.
That cavity would liquefy a lot of lung tissue on a whitetail for sure. Huge wound cavity. Stop a yote in it's track for sure...hurt the hog good also I would think.
It's hard to say, both of them would do a number on coyotes. Inside 300 I don't know if you could really see much difference but farther out I think the VT would win out. If your gun is shooting one hole groups with the 87's I would be hard pressed to change. I tried the VT's in my 6 creed and it doesn't really like them like my 6 ARC does. In my creed, they're averaging about 2.5" 5 shot groups.
@@thelonggunner762 thanks bossman! I will stick to the 87g grainers than! You know how it is, something new comes out you just have to try it! Been thinking about swapping my 6.5 grendal barrel out for a 6 arc. If I do, than I’ll give these bullets a try.
I am sitting in house waiting for myb6 arc to be delivered and wondering how it will compare to a 224 valkerie. I think they will shoot simular but hoping arc will even do a better job in wind. Some times I hunt in 30 to 50 mph wind I try to shoot with or against wind in that situation but still effects accuracy. I usually just got to 7prc for the problem solver.
Thanks for posting, ill be getting some of those load development targets. For what its worth, the 87gr vmax has a .010 lower bc than these. .400 vs .410, and alot longer contact surface. 🤙
@@kothliim6429 so your saying they are just as finicky and limited on seating depth? They came out with this cartridge for the ar 15, then introduce it with a bunch of bullets that arent that great for rifles with limited coal because of magazine size. This bullet makes more sense in the 6cm.
I am running a Carbine buffer and spring in my 18" with a can and the brass looks great, pussy cat recoil, no function issues. I think there's a lot of variables here though and it can be very different from one rifle to the next.
Seems to be alot of randomness to these bullets especially the .224 version. Anything from no expansion to grenading on a yotes chest just to watch it jump up and run off
What is interesting is that one can shoot any gun and ammo on paper or waterbottles and test accuracy and skill. Then one can take that experience and knowledge to go hunting deer ethically for food on the table. Why do one have the urge to go out and kill animals which does not present any benefit to you e.g. bears, coyote etc?
I would have to say that bears are definitely edible, I got one a few years back in Minnesota and it tasted good. The coyotes on the other hand are a Nuisance. They try killing my wife's chickens and have even gone after one of my dogs. They are one of the major predators of deer fawns and the pheasants so if I want health populations of them I need to keep the predator population in check to give them a better chance of survival.
