Aero Precision 6mm ARC Complete Upper from Brownells - any good?

[Cummins Diesel]

I was lucky to order Hornady match and black 6mm arc in Sept from Missouri Shooters at under $20/box. It was on backorder since then and I just received my order last week.

I'm curious about how well the factory ammo will perform but more curious at what results I can get with handloads.

Waiting to hear what Burninpowder comes up with for his setup.

6mm ARC looks like what the lumbering Grendel should have been.
Bill Alexander wishes he thought of it.

Alright did a little more testing this is just for your info as I am above max for this powder and I just started getting some extractor marks at my last powder charge. My barrel is also a 1/8 twist 24inch. All shots are at 100 yards and there was some wind how much I couldn't tell ya.

Thanks for sharing your results. Hoping to get better results with 20", 1-7 twist.
Anyone have info on bolt action upper receivers that work with AR lowers?

1-7 twist was what I was trying to get they just didn't have it at the time and the build was more of a budget build so I would think you can get better accuracy with a good barrel. I have only played a little with varget powder with nosler RDF bullets and then Berger target with IMR8208XBR and just 5 shots with the 8208xbr powder with the RDF bullet. So there is still a bunch of testing to do might have to try 100gr bullets with my twist rate and see if it likes them any better.

Let us know how Varget works out. I'm looking at Varget and CFE.

I tried varget with the RDF bullet and it didn't go very well. It might do better with the Berger bullet with varget just haven't tried yet. Not sure if I am liking the RDF bullets at the moment time will tell
