Him and Johnnys reloading bench are my current favorites. Both good dudes with similar ideas and videos.

Nice groupingTo answer my own question. Yes 6mm ARC is good!
Best group of the day. 100 yards. 10 shots, 8 in mostly one hole. 2 I likely pulled.
Savage 110 22" barrel shooting Hornady Match 108 grain ELD.
This should be an interesting project!

Now you've made me want to pull mine out to shoot it again!Nice grouping
I'm sort of annoyed with it honestly. When you get groups like this with factory ammo, it sort of defeats the idea that I can reload better!Nice grouping
Some people shoot varmint down in the 70-80gr range. Its such a great round and the cartridge is big enough to hold the powder. You just shooting for target?I'm sort of annoyed with it honestly. When you get groups like this with factory ammo, it sort of defeats the idea that I can reload better!
Nonetheless, I'll at least have one hell of a baseline. I am glad I bought a couple hundred rounds from the same lot of that Hornady ammo though!
Mostly to play around with reloading and paper punching. Once I get the 108elds loaded consistently I'll be taking it out to the woods to shoot 600-1000. Might try a PRS match.Some people shoot varmint down in the 70-80gr range. Its such a great round and the cartridge is big enough to hold the powder. You just shooting for target?
Seems slow at 2050fps for the 85 grain pills?I was having so much fun with my heavyweight 6mm arc in the MPA chassis that I decided to build a lightweight rifle for hunting.
Built on another Zermat/Origin action with a Proof Research 22" carbon fiber pre-fit in a Mesa Precision Altitude stock. So far the most impressive loads are with CFE223 and Sierra 85 grain BTHP averaging right at .2-.3 for 3 shots at 100 yards. Speed is 2057 FPS out of the 22" barrel.
This is such a fun little round in a bolt gun!
I figured it might be a typo.Re-read my post and you are right.....
Typo, should have read 2957 FPS out of the 22" barrel.
Ballistic testing showed a 20-inch barrel changed the ballistics very little, but lowered the weight considerably. Mine is an Alteris 20-in bbl, and I'm pleased with it, but I reload for it since Hornady is the only ammo manufacturer out there.That sounds awesome.
I was looking at the Savage 110 in it and was disappointed it only had an 18" barrel. Seems like this needs at least a 24" to be decent with the heavy stuff.
That's kind of a niche market already. I don't think there are others.Anyone here know what who sells bolt action uppers in 6mm ARC other than Uintah Precision?
