6mm arc

I haven't got a bolt knob yet as I'm still working on the gun. I ordered the bottom metel for it and got it in, next I will take it out of it's Howa classis it came in. I'll can now order my McMillan stock for it as the bottom metel was the hold up for replacing the classis with a McMillan stock.
Do you reload?

Yes I do! Im in CA and have only loaded lead free in it so far, tho I plan to run some 108eldms for practice.

Ive shot 95LRXs and 88gr MTHs from cutting edge and just to see and compare got a box of factory 108elms and they shot good as well at 2525 in 20".

I would have faster loads worked up but I had a burr on the bolt face (ejector hole) that was giving me false pressure signs even at starting loadd and it took me quite a while to figure it out. By then it was close to season so I went with a charge I knew wouldnt flatten primers and ran it. 95LRX at 2694. Killed a nice blacktail at just under 300.

I have a blind mag solid floorplate from Jefferson on mine, they were out of the hinged floorplate. The factory setup cracked at the bolt hole when torquing stock to specs.

I wouldn't like the fact of only loading Barnes type bullets, but I will say they are great for hunting as I have used them on deer and elk. But for paper I have had great luck with the Berger bullets. For the 6 ARC the 90 target & 95gr VLD, I did run some 105gr to 109gr but the 90 & 95gr work best with me.

Speeds in the 90 and 95s? Barrel length?

If Ruger would make the american with a 4-5 shot rotary mag in this chambering I think it would sell. Id buy one! A 7 twist Predator in stainless would be sweet.

I have had some good luck with CFE 223, AA2520, AR Comp, what are you loading with?

 

[Wilderness Blacktail]

Leverevolution mostly but have also have tried CFE222 as well. Ive gotten good accuracy with both but planning to switch powders to something faster burning and more temp stable as well. With the bullet weights Im using I should be able to get quite a bit more speed.
