Saturday morning, drinking coffee, and watching Rob load and shoot one of my favorite cartridges before I go test some loads for the ARC of my own. Thanks Rob. The info is invaluable as far as I’m concerned. Especially since one of my test mules is also a 110 Switchback.
6 arc is definitely one of my favorite cartridges. My savage 110 seems to like most loads as well. It makes it very easy for a reloader. Also why I plan to use it for whitetails this year!
I've shot a ton of game with die 95vlds and they work great! Long distance and close distance, big and small game and varmints and never had an issue. You can use them no problem
I don't understand why but for some reason, by my experience, its never the load that has the lowest deviation that shoots the best. Its always the one that has a bit more that ends up being the most accurate paper puncher. Don't get it. I've been a fan on the .243 diameter cartridges for a long time. I have a .243, 6mm Remington and now a 6mm Arc. Great hard hitting, flat, accurate cartridges.
You say you're deer hunting with the 6 arc this year. I've been hearing a lot about the high shoulder shot for an instant kill. Where do you like to place your shot?
@@RobsReloading Agreed, No meat loss and a larger target area. Have taken several running deer with that hold, moving with the animal, and squeezing off the shot.
Shot quite a few deer with the burger 95 grain 6 mil bullets they go in they penetrate and they go off like a bomb I wouldn't take it for an angling shot you'd be better off with something like a barns but if you've got a broadside shot put it through the shoulder and you have a dead deer
Concerning that one shot with the lower than expected velocity, what did LabRadar show for the down range velocities? Were they consistent with the low muzzle velocity or consistent with the higher velocities of the other shots in that group?
I have the same exact setup (chassis and scope). I would recommend the Timney trigger, it’s a nice upgrade. Also I noticed you running these a little long (2.28 oal) which could be impacting you pressure? Most manuals show 6ARC around 2.18 oal depending on the bullet.
I wish more companies would offer chassis style rifles. I have little enjoyment shooting traditional stock rifles now that I know the comfort of chassis style rifles.

Love what you're doing, Rob. You are the only channel on YT thats actually putting in work with load development on the 6mm ARC.

Just behind the shoulder for double lung.

Wondering if this 95gr would work good on a gas gun.
It's light enough you should be able to get good velocity!
27.3 charge peefomed fantastic. All did well but that one was impressive. Thanks.
yeah do Varger with the ELD-X 💪👍
Found this channel after I bought my switchback and arken scope.. wild coincidence. Love all the load data videos! Keep 'em coming
Videos every Wednesday and Saturday at 7:30 am for the foreseeable future!

That second load looks like money to me - I would do some more testing on that load for sure - great SD as well.
I will be trying some 108 Bergers and some Leverevolution or some CFE223

I usually start with loads about 15 to 30 thou off the lands and work from there. I'm not sure why a lot of 6 arc data uses such short coal.
What seating stem did you use with the vld? Ever loaded 6mm heavy vld? Stem? Thanks
The stem that comes with the Hornady die
Savage needs to put the 110 switch back in there 2023 line up with that chassis I'm sure it would sell
