    I’ve shot all Hornady ammo for the 6 arc and all have shot very good. Mine especially like the 103 ELD X.

    Great videos. I earn a living with my 6arc and in process of building a 22arc. I shoot most of the grain weight depending on target animal. 108,105,103,and 80. Trouble I’ve had revolves around gas cycle. I’m using A5 buffer system with green spring and cycles all perfectly except for 80s 75s. In order for them to cycle properly I have to changeout the green spring to a reduced power spring (yellow). I also am shooting a flow through suppresser. I’ve change gas blocks even tried a non adjustable block as I have to run an adjustable fully open. But with the 80s it won’t cycle with a non adjustable gas block with the a5 buffer with green spring unsuppressed either. I have checked alignment with a borescope. Only thing I can reckon is the gas hole on proof research barrel may be slightly too small. I need to check gas port size with other barrel manufactures. I bought a rifle speed adjustable gas block in hopes of once I open up the port I can simply with a slight rotation shoot the all the loads without having to change the buffer springs. Sorry so long winded, just trying to explain my situation and you if you might have a solution or maybe one of your viewers might shed some light on this. On an interesting note I’m running a thermal and all loads poi is the same so I don’t have to toggle between sight in’s. Hornady gets a lot of hate but I depend on my rifles to get my job done and done well. I haven’t seen anything wrong with their loads and I’m in about 1000 rounds through these 6 arc.
    Thanks again.

      From everything ive seen with gas blocks, usually the port on the block is usually slightly bigger than the gas port on the barrel to allow for very slight variations of off center cant and different port sizes and still covering the port fully. I've heard of people actually boring out the gas port larger. A gunsmith could do this I'm sure with a drill press and however many thousandth's of an inch of material I couldn't say how much you would need. But If you have an adjustable gas block they are usually bigger than the actual port itself so the limiting factor it would seem is the actual gas port itself, but by boring out the actual port just a bit i believe would still be within the tolerances of the maximum adjustment on the block. Again I'm sure a smith with the right tools can measure these tolerances. If taking a very small amount at a time it would allow more gas to force the bcg's action. And it might take a few attempts removing just a small bit at a time to tune your rifle. Some other problems simpler problems could also be make sure the gas rings inside your bolt carrier are still good and not flimsy so they are sealing properly during funtion, and the gas key on the carrier itself is tight and staked properly. Hope this helps my friend.

      @@Steelrunner appreciate the reply. I have tried 2 other new bcg’s 2 lantec and 1 santan. Kinda stuck in a rock and a hard place. Maybe just changing out buffer springs is simplest. Thanks again

      @@Trapper-tr3sd Have you tried using a different buffer system than the A5? Those JP enterprise captured springs I've heard work very well in a regular carbine buffer tube. I have one of the knockoff versions by Armaspec in another rifle of mine but I couldn't say how well it works with an adjustable system. Mine is pinned.

    Brass is crappy (weak primer pockets) for reloading but if you dont reload for 6arc your missing out. Check out kennys vids at desert precision. Bolts are important in this cartridge. Hornady ammo is hot no matter what they say. Go with rca, jp, or maxim bolt. My ba barrel was around 1moa but when i changed to a custom xcaliber barrel and handloads .2" groups 3sd and 8es are possible but it wants to be pushed hot. Scopes i like my pst $800 now if you can afford 1300 to 1800 get a maven.

      Yes I plan to get into reloading. I have been saving all my brass for when that day comes... It will be a learning process for sure, and also getting all the equipment. Unfortunatelyright now I do not have the space to set up a reloading station right now... but it will be coming in the future. And right now I cannot afford $1,000 scopes at this moment. But some better optics I do plan to get some better equipment in the future. Specifically I want an ATN night vision set up for coyote hunting at night... thanks for your recommendations I will definitely check them out!

    Ally munitions if you want quality six arc ammo, Hornady precision is got a lot of marketing behind but Precision is not. Good scopes are not cheap but for $1000 you can get in the game with some good scopes

      Ok cool. Thanks. I will definitely check them out! Not alot of options out there, so it's always good to hear of other manufacturers.

    How do you like the BA barrel? I bought a BA .300 BO barrel. It was recommended to be by a buddy that shoots competition. Granted he shoots WOA barrels for comps, but says he has some BA’s that surprised him accuracy wise.

      I like my BA barrels. I have several builds with BA barrels and they have all performed great. They have really good quality and they don't break the bank... they have their memorial day sale going on now on their website woth 20% off all barrels
