Thanks! I'm excited to see the potential of 22ARC in an AR platform. As a 6.5GRN shooter, I have 6ARC parts for an upper build and want to a 22ARC to finish the trio. It's a new take on switch barrel platforms, three uppers, one BCG and one lower!
I'm a fellow 6.5 Grendel shooter! Lot of stuff got put on hold recently but I've been meaning to build a 6 ARC upper for some years now and when I heard about 22 ARC I knew that would be another one for my list. Have you built that 6 ARC upper yet?
@@johnmoore2510 Awesome. I love the concepts and am stoked about the ARC cartridges (as well as the new ELD-VT bullets. I've even got a bolt in the Grendel bolt face for my Defiance action, thinking about doing a 6ARC or 22ARC for that bolt gun as well
Thanks for you hard work on this Gavin. Excited to see where the 22 ARC goes with the industry. Im glad to see Hornady making components and factory ammo available soon. I can expect they will have reloading information out this year.
Since I enjoy seeing coyotes take dirt naps, I think and AR, 18" Rifle +1 or +2 barrel, with the 62 VTs would be fun to see. Keep up the great content.
I'd love to see load development with this cartridge with 62 eld-vt. As well as a ultra-lightweight compact short barrel bolt or gas gun build. And how the 24inch compares to say an 18inch build or even dare I say 16inch build.
I’ve been shooting the 22 ARC in wildcat form for about a year in a 22” AR barrel. it really shoots amazingly on that platform and i’d love to see you make an episode about that.
I've had great results with Hornaday 90gr A-Tip Match for this caliber in the AR platform. Would be great to see what you get out of the bolt action platform.
I'd like to see an Arc AR. Maybe in addition to building one, show us a commercially available one as well that some of us less well funded shooters can afford.
I'm wanting a 22 ARC in AR match grade setup, left eject ambi everything else. Seems like a super idea for a fast follow-up coyote rig. Build one up and lets see how it does.
I wish I had the money to put into some cool builds like yours. If like to see an AR build results with this 22 ARC. Been considering building one in the 6 ARC, but this has my interest!
That reamer holder would have to be dedicated to that reamer. As I would think reamer shanks have enough variation to negate any precision you tried to achieve boring out the holder. A holder with a collet set up would be more flexible and just as good IF you can get it indicated and set up dead nuts inline with your spindle.
I know this is a 22 ARC video. With that said, I can't wait to try those 62 grain ELD-VT bullets in my AR15. My 20" AR15 is my goto predator rifle here in Eastern North Carolina.
Could be nice to see you creating a new cartridge like using a 6.8 western necked-up to 308 to create a kind of 30-06 in short action Want to see the process behind. Costum reamer and gun

Interested to hear comments about 22 ARC head diameter in an AR 15 platform. A smaller head diameter is one of the plus points of the 224 Valkyrie, allowing more meat in the bolt head……. and conversely one of the downsides of the Grendel. 52k PSI in an AR platform.
have you considered drilling a vent hole in the back of the rigid reamer holders so they don’t build up as much air-spring when you try to insert the reamers?
Interesting, from what I understand, as far as the case head, Grendel uses a deeper bolt face. It is only about 0.011", but that can make a big difference.
I kinda disagree. Creed is too hot for my liking for a 22 centerfire. I really like this option that’s between 223 and the creedmoor. Valkyrie was going to be my pick but it’s not really taking off.
Yall should explore zinc casting. Zinc has the same Brinell hardness as copper so you can load them like real high pressure rifle rounds and get good groups. I have great results in 30.06.
Question on the machining of the barrel. I’m not a machinist and no way am I saying you are doing the wrong. Around 12 minutes and 19-21 seconds of the video. You show the barrel in your lathes I could see the muzzle end wobble. How does or does this affect accuracy?
I dont understand why 22arc in a bolt? There are plenty of other cartridges that do the same thing better in a stanard SA. What are you gaining here over other options? Genuine question.
@@Iscariot18 22-250, 22-250ai, 22 creed, 22 gt, 220 swift/swift ai, etc. There are a bunch of 22s already that can do it's job in a bolt, and do it faster. Hence my question: why 22 arc in a bolt? An AR makes sense, 224 valk seems to be hot garbage.
@@spencerdeaton7202okay I have to be missing something in translation he ordered a barrel with a 1-7 twist rate already built for a 22 caliber bullet he didn’t cut the lands so is the barrel not already chambered then ? Why would he say he cut the chamber am I missing something
@@dbuckner902010 it has the bore and rifling already done but no chamber. That way the end user can chamber it in whatever 22 cal cartridge is wanted. He's done the same thing (chbering) with a variety of calibers. It's interesting to watch.

We were super impressed with the 22arc in our testing in our ar15 platform. We are showing it off to the public at SHOT this week.

Definitely want to see more load development and shooting the bolt arc
I'd love to see an AR build using "budget" items for a build! Also would love to see some ballistic gel tests, especially with that 80gr eld-x.
I'd love to see load development with this cartridge with 62 eld-vt. As well as a ultra-lightweight compact short barrel bolt or gas gun build. And how the 24inch compares to say an 18inch build or even dare I say 16inch build.

Let's see an AR build. Love all the details in the videos!
I'm waiting for the 17 Arc.

I've had great results with Hornaday 90gr A-Tip Match for this caliber in the AR platform. Would be great to see what you get out of the bolt action platform.
Please build the AR version! Loved my Grendel, but I I always wanted more speed.
Awesome watching your evolution, and all the good information. Thanks
I'd like to see an Arc AR. Maybe in addition to building one, show us a commercially available one as well that some of us less well funded shooters can afford.
Would like to see a 22 arc AR-15 high quality build in 16 inch or 18 inch barrel.
Thank you
I would love to see a Tested video on 22 varmint bullets or just ELD-X vs ELD-VT. Thanks love the videos
I'm wanting a 22 ARC in AR match grade setup, left eject ambi everything else. Seems like a super idea for a fast follow-up coyote rig. Build one up and lets see how it does.
We have sort of worked a full circle back to a cartridge a lot like 22 PPC.
I wish I had the money to put into some cool builds like yours. If like to see an AR build results with this 22 ARC. Been considering building one in the 6 ARC, but this has my interest!
To be honest you make me excited to get my ffl type 7 to start doing my own machining and work on some really cool builds!!!
I would be interested in a .22 caliber cartridge comparison as you did for the PRS cartridges but with a precision AR build in mind.
Yes, absolutely, I have been thinking about that and I have it planned for this coming year!
@@Ultimatereloaderthis please.
Time to build a 22arc in AR ready for that video!
Waiting for 22 creedmore too, I just got my savage and 5 shot groups .422 largest group. It's awesome
22 Creedmoor is the berries.....
This cartridge is a real game changer. Can't wait for this to take of. Best info so far on this cartridge. Thx.
What game does it change? So many alternatives that are as good or better. I like it, but don't see it as a changer of any game.
That reamer holder would have to be dedicated to that reamer. As I would think reamer shanks have enough variation to negate any precision you tried to achieve boring out the holder. A holder with a collet set up would be more flexible and just as good IF you can get it indicated and set up dead nuts inline with your spindle.
Many non 556 mags for the ar15 allow for a longer coal than 2.260. The 10rd duramags from C products for the 6.5 grendel allow for a 2.30 coal
I know this is a 22 ARC video. With that said, I can't wait to try those 62 grain ELD-VT bullets in my AR15. My 20" AR15 is my goto predator rifle here in Eastern North Carolina.
Do bullet testing for 22 arc trying lowest grain bullets to highest with different hunting bullets
Looking forward to seeing more on this 22ARC (in your bolt gun).
Could be nice to see you creating a new cartridge like using a 6.8 western necked-up to 308 to create a kind of 30-06 in short action
Want to see the process behind. Costum reamer and gun
Shouldn’t this channel be the Ultimate Gunsmither since we never see him reloading, only building guns?

Yes, an AR comparison would be great. I’m waiting for my 22 arc upper from Odin
I have 6mm ARC can't wait to try 22 ARC
definitely build an AR platform rifle!

Great build as always. Have you thought about doing a custom action comparison? Appreciate your insight from an Engineer perspective. 👍
Waiting on a 22ARC barrel now, love my 6ARC bolt gun 1,000yrd hits are consistent
I'd like to see bolt gun velocities with the 90+ grain bullets.
I want a one, my next money pit, thanks for the information
Building an AR and The Hunting would be great.
Also, what is the reason for this new round from Hornady??
Basically Soviet Olympic team biathlon Carthage from the 50s. 6.5 Grendel was based on it and now it's 22 like the original Soviet round.
Would love to see a build with an Aero precision solus action
have you considered drilling a vent hole in the back of the rigid reamer holders so they don’t build up as much air-spring when you try to insert the reamers?
Would love to see AR build
According to the Hornady manual I have 6ARC, 6.5Grendel and 7.62x39 all have slightly different case head sizes.
Interesting, from what I understand, as far as the case head, Grendel uses a deeper bolt face. It is only about 0.011", but that can make a big difference.
22 creedmoor is where it’s at for bolt guns!
I'll stick with my 6ppc bolt gun
How is the recoil vs 22-250. The point of the creedmoor is the faster twist. Can you spot your impacts shooting 80 grain bullets?
I kinda disagree. Creed is too hot for my liking for a 22 centerfire. I really like this option that’s between 223 and the creedmoor. Valkyrie was going to be my pick but it’s not really taking off.
I’d be fun to see Gavin build a few howa mini actions. One precision and the other light weight.
My next rifle!
I want to get one in the ar15 from for coyote hunting with thermal at night
I would like to see information on the 22 ARC with 50 gr varmint grenades for furbearers!
What was the weight of this particular build
Build a .22 ARC AR, that is why Hornady developed the concept for!
do the ar gavin but what barrel length? please do it love your content your the best bud
AR 15 platform industry availabilities, please! Awesome video, and I can't wait for this cartridge to hit the South African market.
I’d like to see a comparison on an AR vs Bolt on this .22 ARC platform?
AR definitely
Would love to here you’re comparison to the 224 Valkyrie since you had extensive testing of that cartridge
Yall should explore zinc casting. Zinc has the same Brinell hardness as copper so you can load them like real high pressure rifle rounds and get good groups. I have great results in 30.06.
Would love to see AR 22arc build I'm waiting on my proof barrel to do my build 👍🏼
Good stuff. Thanks!
Would love to see it in a AR
If you had to choose, would you go with a 22 arc or a 22 Creedmoor?
I would like to see a 22 ACR AR build.
Up vote for the AR. Build a setup with IR hardware!
What happened to the 7prcw
I did a betting job on it this week, planning to break it in after the shot show, thanks for your patience!
Why don't you get some wolf steel and resize so you can do a steel ak build?
I want to know what you did to have this much capital to start up your business. You're basically living all of our dreams
Given the choice, which would you prefer, the 22 ARC or the 22GT?
Why no 22 Creedmoor bolt build? I will probably do 22 ARC upper but for a bolt gun it does not touch the 22 Creedmoor with 75gr ELDM
Good idea 😉
@@Ultimatereloader show down lol
Would love to see an ar build
I'm waiting on GA Precision and Seekins Precision to give me a price on a 22arc upper. I'd love to see a build with 20-22 inch barrel and suppressed.
Let’s see the 22arc head to head with the 224 valkyrie
Ar would be great. It would be great to see a actual/perceived recoil comparison between the varmint rounds and throw in some wildcats.
6 arc necked to .22 is called the .22 dmc. Hornady could not directly steal the idea without paying for it, so substituted the 6.5 grendal case .
Which was a better move anyway because it holds a tad bit more powder
So what is the differece between the 22 ARC and the 22 PPC
Looks like a smasher…❤️🔥🇺🇸
I was wondering if he was going to make a 22 arc. And here is the video lol
So is the 22arc better than the 6.5 grendel

Micarta warps btw.
I would like to see you build a 22CM
I like that idea, I’ve been toying around with that idea!
Where y'all getting Arc brass at?
How does this 22arc compare to a 224 val at 1000y?
You had to fill out a NDA with Hornaday ? Looks like a great project!
I want to see what you can get an AR 15 to really do, say a 22/24 inch medium to heavy barrel competition setup in 22 arc.
Would be nicer a longer series step by step
For the size of the barrel, how many millimeters?
610mm
How much do you account for barrel crush?
About 0.001” on this kind of action
Accuracy proofing with hornady bullets is like trying to hit a homerun with a styrofoam bat.
Gonna need a comparison to the apparently forgotten 224 Valkyrie.
CX
Help me understand what exactly you mean cut the chamber ? Is the barrel not already chambered for the 22 arc ?
Correct, that’s how barrels are sold sometimes and then a smith can chamber it and cut threads for whatever is needed.

Would you consider that barrel blank an MTU contour?
