New Build: #1 & #2 (6ARC Radian/ Bartlein) ( Geissele / Craddock Precision)

@Bigjake83 , do you have a starting and max charge for AR Comp with the 75eldm? I have the Hornady load data, but AR Comp isn’t one of the powders listed. I also didn’t see info on the Alliant site for 22 Arc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My WOA hates CFE so I’m looking for alternatives. It shoots Lever pretty good, but I have some comp so I figured I’d give it a try. Thanks.

I think Dominic does, send Padom a message, im sure he's done load development with the 75gr ELD's.

I'll be using the 75 ELD's in the 22 ARC but not in the 5.56.

Geissele Cut Rifled SPR Build and Barrel Evaluation. (Part 4 (Load Development 28MAY25) Update!!!

24.2-24.4 gr TAC pushing a 77 smk has been money in all my rifles. They all share 24.4, LC brass, cci #41 with 77 SMK’s and all shoot that load extremely well in 40-95* weather.

Those speeds though are crazy! My 20” barrels only run 2750

That Geissele 18" SPR barrel is definitely my fastest 5.56 barrel.

The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

Utah, near Park City, mule deer season.

328 yards, across a canyon, 250 feet of elevation drop, 35 mph crosswind.

25-06 Montana 1999 with an old Kahles Helia S 3-12 x 56 scope. One shot aimed at the top of the hindquarters found heart/lung, dropped him in his tracks.

May have made more impressive shots, but I will remember that one for my entire life.

Afternoon before at the location, saw him sneak into the brush -

Next morning, I was waiting when he showed up again.

Guy on motorcycle vs guy in car..... yeah.


I almost did that exact same thing as the guy on the bottom. I was young and dumb with my first street bike, a cbr1000rr, and a Porsche pulled up along side wanting to race. I dropped a gear and dumped the clutch. The front end almost came over on me. Thought I was safe since I was already well into triple digits. I was wrong.

How did they fair in temps below freezing?

Customer Accuracy Expectations

I mostly shoot local matches, I am not a high-level competitor. But with a good load and a custom rifle, I expect to be able to shoot 1/2MOA 90% of the time at 100 and maybe 80% of the time at 200 with mild to moderate wind. I don’t shoot center fire at 50 yards, that’s only for rimfire.

Ooops. Just realized this was in the rimfire section. For rimfire, I would say 1/2-3/4 MOA at 50, sub MOA at 100 and maybe 1.5 MOA at 200 with very mild wind.
