  • Fast, flat, fits in an AR-15, great for long range shooting, an absolute predator pounder, and light recoiling. The 22 ARC lives up to its name of Advanced Rifle Cartridge. So, do you need one? Listen and find out.

    Thank goodness someone finally mentioned the PPC when discussing the ARC family. The 6arc is an almost direct copy of the PPC, and nobody acknowledged it as if Hornady came up with it on their own.

    • @jfess1911
      @jfess1911 Месяц назад +3

      Not really. Two entirely different cartridges using similar cases. The 6mm PPC is specialized for 100 - 200 yard shooting with relatively light, flat-based bullets and has a much slower twist. It's CIP specs call for 1-in-12", but, in competition, as slow as 1-15" is often used. The 6 ARC was optimized for 600 - 1000 yard shooting with heavier bullets. It has a faster twist barrel and more freebore, allowing better stabilization of higher-BC bullets. The longer freebore also allows more of the bullet to project from the case, reducing encroachment on powder.

      @jfess1911 Месяц назад

      @@markcarew6724 It depends on how much you want to pick nits. The cases are close but not interchangeable. The shoulder of the 6 ARC is farther forward (1.1207" vs 1.0748"), and its case is longer ( 1.49" vs 1.36"). The 6 ARC was designed to work in an AR15 at a max pressure of 52,000 psi vs the PPC in a bolt gun at 58,700psi (using the CIP measuring method).
      The 6 ARC was, in point of fact, developed by Hornady pushing the shoulder of a necked-down 6.5 Grendel case back 0.03". Hornady had been making Grendel and not PPC cases, so they used what they had. The 6.5 Grendel case itself was developed by Lapua as a 6.5mm variation of the PPC with the shoulder pushed forward slightly. The 22 ARC uses just the necked-down Grendel case, FWIW.

    @flyovertimes1395 Месяц назад +8

    The 22ARC has been my new favorite gun for a while. I built one with a 22" Ballistic Advantage barrel that shoots 0.25 MOA groups all day long. It has a rifle +1 gas tube length which I believe may be part of the magic. It is a coyote destroyer and great for bobcats too out to 400 yards no problem. I find it hard to believe that in all the talk in this "10 minute talk" that the 22-250 was never mentioned. I have shot most of the factory loads to get brass to reload. My reloads have been from the Hornady 90 grain AMAX all the way down to the 40 grain VMAX. I am getting 4050 fps out of the 40 gr VMAX with no pressure signs and still tiny little groups. Compare that to the 22-250 with 40 grainers at 4100-4200 fps, it's not bad at all and all in an ar15 form factor. You have to step up to the AR10 to run the 22-250 which is a LOT heavier when you are trying to varmint hunt (still great but heavy esp. when the can is attached). The 22 ARC is just a pleasure to shoot. No recoil to speak of and I can put pretty much anyone behind it and they can hit targets at distance easily. I try not to be a fan boy of any new cartridge but this one has the right amount of everything. I know the 22PPC has been around for nearly 50 years and the cartridge dimensions are almost exactly the same, but the available barrels with high twist rates aren't available unless you are building custom stuff.
    Yes the 224 Valkerie does close to the same thing, but the ammo at times is even harder to find.
    As for the mags, I haven't had any problems with feed issues. I use 6.5 grendal mags or 7.62x39 AR mags. No real problems, but I am not running 20 rounders either. I stick to the 10 round versions.
    Just my 2-cents.

    I shot 0.610 group at 500 meters with my 7 twist .22 PPC and 75 gr Berger VLDs 23 December. The velocities are at 2900 from a 25.5 inch barrel using VV N-135 and F205M ignition. The reason the .22 PPC is superior the .22 ARC is because the neck is longer and I can partially resize the neck, centering the cartridges when pushing them into the chamber. The longer neck also will extend barrel throat life. The second reason I prefer the PPC case is that I can use the Redding Competition Shell Holders to match the amount of shoulder push from my die to my chamber. Also there are several manufacturers that make outstanding PPC cases available to handloaders. I shoot mostly Norma and Lapua cases so far but Alpha PPC cases just won a 600 yard NBRSA National at the same club range I belong to.

The 22 Thunderbolt and another were Highpower comp heavy bullet versions with a longer throat, this had a standard match 223 lead.

  • @gpearce11
    @gpearce11 Месяц назад +18

    Another great cartridge talk. However, i have two glaring issues.
    The first is regarding your early points regarding velocity. The biggest design difference between the 22 ARC and 6 ARC (other than bullet diameter, obviously) is case length. 22 ARC is a necked down 6.5 Grendel, while 6 ARC has been trimmed down to accommodate high BC bullets without affecting COAL. So, 22 ARC should have higher velocity, as it uses a bigger case.
    Secondly, how did you manage to have a 55-minute conversation about 22 ARC-a intermediate .224 calibre AR15 compatible cartridge -and not once compared it to 224 Valkyrie, which is basically the exact same thing, only using a 6.8 SPC base instead of 6.5 Grendel?

      @RCx44 I've seen enough 224 Valk AR uppers, complete ARs, and bolt action on the market to suspect that's not quite true.
      Regardless, even if its not popular anymore, I'd wager viewers are much more likely to have knowledge of 224 Valk than they are 6 ARC, seeing as it's almost as new as 22 ARC, which is the only cartridge they kept comparing to.

    • @RCx44
      @RCx44 Месяц назад +4

      The idea that people know more about 224 vs 6arc is laughable. The 22 arc is a year old and 6arc came out in 2020.
      The Valkyrie was killed by problems that plagued it from launch.

    I have listened to about 15 10min talks today and in one of those you mentioned the 7.82 warbird for a 30 cal cartridge. You were thrown off by the metric designation. It is simple if you convert .30 caliber to metric, you get 7.62. Convert the diameter of bore with lands cut to 308, you get 7.82mm. All of their other calibers follow the same format.

    In my state, the 22 arc only has a place in varmint and target shooting. We have a 24 cal min for medium and large game.

  • @jfess1911
    @jfess1911 Месяц назад +1

    Although there are some cartridges that seem generally more accurate and easy to tune than others, I think that chamber design is a big part of that, especially the length of parallel freebore. Part of this is the constraint of fitting into an AR15 with a COAL of only 2.26". The freebore of the .22 ARC is 0.2245" diameter and 0.1314" long.... that is over half a caliber in length and more than 5 times longer than the 223 Rem. It is also much longer than the 0.09" run of freebore in the 6 ARC. To normalize, the section of parallel freebore of the 22 ARC is 59% of the bullet caliber vs only 37% for the 6 ARC. To give a little more perspective, the 6.5 Creedmoor, which is known to be fairly easy to load for, has 0.1992 inches of parallel freebore, or 75% of bullet caliber. The 6mm Creedmoor also has 75% freebore. The 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC and 300 PRC are also all have freebore with a length of over 70% the bullet dia.
    It is important to note that these long freebores are for use with long-for caliber, boat-tailed bullets. Shorter, and flatbase bullets seem to do fine with shorter sections of freebore. The PPC is optimized for those, with freebore often 0.060" long. I have read that a rule of thumb for the PPC is to jam a bullet and make certain that the base is less than halfway up the neck.

    I also picked up a Howa Mini 6 ARC with the heavier barrel. The reloading manuals claim 30 % less powder from 6ARC to 243 with only a 100 fps velocity loss. If that bears out that will make the 243 and 6 Creed obsolete.

    They're saying the 22 ARC bullets are all higher BC than an equivalent 6mm ARC. The first three I looked at - ELD-X, CX and ELD Match - are higher in 6 ARC than 22. ELD-X: .224 80gr G1 .485 vs 6mm 103gr G1 .512. CX: .224 70gr .392 vs 6mm 90gr .418. ELD Match: .224 88gr G1 .545 vs. 6mm 109gr G1 .585.
    What am I missing? I guess it makes sense you could get higher velocity in 22 ARC since it seems to have higher case capacity and lighter bullets, but this BC advantage - I don't see it.

      ​@@jonathane8585the 90gr you list is an A-Tip Match, not an ELD Match. There may not yet be load data for the 109gr 6mm but they do show it on their site as a new 6mm bullet. And if you want to include the A-Tip Match for comparison, the 6mm 110gr A-Tip Match has a G1 of 0.604 so it again beats the 22 ARC.

    I'm much moreso interested in the 6ARC, but i can appreciate that this has a niche that im just not really a part of.
    My sole interest in either cartridge is basically to be an improvement on the MK12 design with a better cartridge. Something that I can reliably get acceptable accuracy out to 700-ish yards with more "oomph" than any 5.56 loading can offer (with factory ammo), and between the two the 6 does that particular job better.
    An 18" upper with something like a 2-12 or 3-18 class optic would be absolute money as long as it's acceptably accurate.

    Im planning on building a 6 arc in 2025 for coyotes and maybe deer/antelope if I feel like it. For coyotes I'm definitely using the 80 gr vt match they got for it because its got the velocity for flat shooting on the dogs and the ballistics with 3000 fps(box velocity) it will do good at range. Would probably run the 103 eldx if i decide to hunt deer or antelope though. Cool cartridges, the 6 arc just seems to fit what i want better. 308 capabilities in a low recoil small frame gasser

    I have both and have shot/ reloaded hundreds of rounds.
    The 224 valkyrie is the better round. It loads out better.
    Hornady had a habit of screwing with the data to make their rounds look better. The 6.8 spc is an example. They show the rounds shooting out of a 16" barrel. Most rounds are shown shooting out of a 24" barrel. It has been proven that the 120 grain load out of a 20" barrel shoots at 2660 mv but Hornady makes it looks like the 6.8 only shoots at 2460 on the box and in the reloading manual. At 2660 mv, the 120 sst has over 800 fpe at 450 yds. With a 25 yd zero, it zeros at over 200 yds. That makes it the best in the AR 15 platform.

    @PatriotPaulUSA Месяц назад

    Unless your a varmint/coyote hunter I would think the 6mm ARC is going to fill so many more roles and be legal for more game. It would have more ft lbs energy and a very slippery bullet and many brand and weights to pick from which is usually more economical. If all your hunting is varmints and coyotes and target shooting maybe a 22ARC is your caliber. I would still use 6 ARC for all those and be able to shoot up to deer sized game personally. Its is cool to see how accurate it is for target shooters however in 22ARC.

    It appears that a innovation has been discovered in the cartridge performance industry. The short wide case - more propellant - with a long high B.C. projectile, like all the PRC's .They consistently result in improved performance compared to previous bottleneck design . It is difficult to improve on near perfection, but it is not impossible.
