Howdy, I'm from PNW and I use Leverevolution, Varget, CFE223 for my loads, and mainly Hornady bullets although I've loaded with Speer and had good results. Most of my groups are sub .5 MOA (100yds). Good to hear there's another Washingtonian getting into 6mmARC. 🙂
N135 gives 100% burn and near 100% case fill with 55gr-80gr projectiles. My varmint load with 75gr speer HP achieved 3280 fps with slight pressure. Settled at 3170 fps. 22" rifle. My target load is 105 berger VLD at 2780 fps with StaBALL Match powder. Both loads are consistently achieving single digit SDs and ES in the low teens. The bergers are well under 1/2 moa and the 75gr HP are a little bit over 1/2moa. Gordon's reloading tool or quick load are very helpful when selecting powder
Just found your channel. Thanks for all the work. I am new to the 6MM ARC. Not to ARs or reloading just the caliber. I look forward to more videos from you !
Yeah I have used Lever in 556 a lot. I am getting good Velocity in arc with it just not some the best groups so far. I will be using it with some of my heavy bullets! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@ReloadingQuest ya I think every barrel and gun likes certain load combinations. I know my Grendel hates blc2 I just can’t get it to shoot under an inch I’ve heard some guys use it and get great results. On average I’ve found lever and h4350 to be the most consistent through different platforms.
@@ReloadingQuest Johnny was using a 90 gr Sierra game King, over Lever in the 30 gr range with half inch groups, and crazy velocity. ruclips.net/video/UKHhUt_iZpY/видео.html
I don’t want to cast any stones but would you share what bullets you’re using, your chicken scratch writing looks like mine and I can’t read how many grn they are. My son and I are trying to put a prairie dog hunt together and we’re wanting to take the 6 arc’s
Try the 90gr Berger BT Target. My best groups yet are with that bullet, .348" and always .5" or better. 29.8gr of Lever, Lapua brass, CCI 41 primers and the bullet seated .004" into the lands 2847fps out of my 22" gas gun.
@@ReloadingQuest Correct, Lapua 6.5 Grendel brass necked down. Primer pockets on the Hornady brass start to loosen after about 5 reloads unless you keep the charge down.
I found with my 6AR which is same as 6arc...best powder 5:12 was xbr8208 with 95 sierra match kings...not game kings. Best primer is BR4. The rest are junk ..

Awesome thanks!!
Velocity data would have been nice. How fast did you get them going?

No problem! Thanks for watching!
I use lever for 223, 6 arc and 6.5 Grendel. It’s fantastic. I get excellent velocities from 223 60g at 3k 18 inch barrel.

I'll save you the suspense. Lever, hands down is the best powder for the ARC. It's like it was made for it.
My best results so far are with SW Precision rifle. Thanks for watching
@@ReloadingQuest Velocity ???

Right on. Will give them a try. You must be using converter 6.5 grendel brass.

i found that the cfe works well with 95g nosler bt's

Try shooters world ar plus. Its a amazing powder with 6arc and 75 gr vmax
I use that powder for 556 and love it. I haven't seen anyone else using it for arc. I was hoping someone had good luck with it.
I've had luck with an N550 and 103 eldx combo. Just for archive.
@@userJohnSmith awesome! I will have to try that.
@@ReloadingQuest Shot an f-class match with it. Did well out of an AR.
@@userJohnSmith awesome!!
Should have put them through a chronograph
