Need advice - 6 ARC bolt action load data for 103-108 gr bullets

*Load at your own risk*

Goal achieved. Both loads capable to 1000+ yds, very mild recoil, efficient, temp stable, groups well.

Many thanks to the Little Crow Gunworks YouTube videos on reloading.

I think that this is similar to the journey Frank is on with his podcast but with factory ammo. I had the pleasure of learning from him at Treadproof and brought up the idea of a bolt gun in 6 ARC as it was coming online in 2021, but I am a poor so it took a while to get it built up and load developed.

Anyways, here are the groups and data.
Temp 59F, Humidity 63%, 29.93 mm Hg
1. XBR 27.5gr, Hornady 103 ELDX, Alpha brass, CCI 450 SRP, .010” off lands, minimal crunch with seating
2. XBR 27.0gr, Hornady 105 Aeromatch, Alpha brass, CCI 450 SRP, .010” off lands, no crunch with seating

Minimal cratering, no shiny spots, easy bolt lift.

YMMV and happy shooting!

Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

Mine seems to like the same as yours, SK Rifle Match. Thats a nice group. What other brands of ammo have you tried? Lapua?
Center X does not shoot better than SK but all my other 22LR rifles like Lapua.
I have shot CenterX and Midas+ through it and don’t notice a significant improvement with Midas+ and CenterX groups are a little looser than the SKRM.

On the other hand, Lapua OSP Pistol (average 10 shot 50 yd group below) shot groups a little tighter than the SKRM.

Rifle Scopes Reticle size vs zoom range ffp

Let me try this again.
7-35 nightforce atacr moar reticle
4-16 nightforce atacr moar reticle
Both FFP
Will the reticle look the same through both scopes at 8x.
If not then why……?
Before I made my second FDN purchase from USO, I had the same question, which USO answered, and I found to be correct, thus my response above.

I suggest you ask Nightforce.
