6mm ARC Gas Gun Barrel Lengths and Muzzle Velocities

There are several older threads around with a lot of load data and velocity info in them. I would definitely take the time to search them up and read through them. That said, i have a PVA 20” 6ARC AR that has about 110-115 rounds down the tube so it could still be speeding up a little bit. I have just started the berger 108gr elite hunters with Leverevolution. My starting load was 28.0gr with Starline brass and i was right at 2500 fps. I then jumped to 28.5gr and velocity went up to 2560ish. I will keep creeping up slowly to 29.0gr and watch for pressure.

This is just my specific setup and just know that every barrel will be different.

Charter captain goes pirate in Florida

It was "boys day out" for his buddy captains.
I saw a pic of charter Cpt Riggs(firefighter) and he was promoting their veteran charter capt association, that caters to veterans and leo.
i am fair certain the "association" in total, was on tbe boat. Real stand up bunch.
Cannot find that promotional pic anymore. Someone is scrubbing hard, erasing profiles.

22lr PRS shooters who made the switch to ZCO glass

While I know I'm supposed to disagree and call you stupid because this is the internet, I can see the merit of your argument. I was trying to say that there is no magic gear bullet that will rocket you from the bottom to the top of the standings. The % of improvement with any upgrade is relative to the overall skill of the shooter.
Whether or not pursuit of the podium is worth it? Who knows? Racing riding mowers vs a shot at NASCAR seat, or fitness exercise vs trying to qualify for the world’s, that is real question.

Eurooptic.com?

I guess it is just something weird with this particular order. I put the same thing I ordered last time (TT Diamond) and upgraded 2 day shipping I used last time was actually a little cheaper than when I ordered it last week. $20.35. The same shipping method for the MDT stuff is $40.70. Wild.
That’s “Fuck your little order, ain’t nobody got time for that” shipping prices.

A Small Rant about AR mounts ahead of April Fools Day

Yeah, weight not being a listed spec deove me crazy too. What I've found is that QD mounts, like ADM are in the 10 oz range, with some being heavier.

About the lightest I've found, while still being pretty robust, is the Nightforce Unimount and the Leupold Mark AR (a heck of a mount for under $100), each at about 6 oz.

Powder IN-STOCK thread

I took the chance on 1000ct then they emailed saying they messed up inventory on my 224 85gr order so they replaced them with another 1000ct 107s and then I ordered another 4 boxes...

I took a chance and they measure in length exactly to my factory 107smk's I have here, factory pointed new style and no gouges or anything. Great deal
That's good to hear. I was hesitant to buy some but gave in and ordered the last 5 boxes. They should be on the way to me soon. Hopefully it won't get caught in an order snafu like you had.

Fouling past the case neck

What is the oal you load to. I have had issue like this with not enough bullet in the neck.
I've not had this issue due to not enough bullet in the neck, at least . . . bit with the .308's and 6.5 PRC is load to. I tend to load long, as I start out at .010 off the lands. Often, I easily only have just .200 - .217 of the neck holding onto the bearing surface. I should mention too that I due turn my .308 cases down to .014" thick, which will help them expand a little faster.

I always make sure that most if not all of the bullet is in contact with the whole neck.
As long as you're not engaging the bearing surfaces with the donut area, that works just time. Because I tend to a load where the donut area is never an issue and it lessens the interference between the surface of the neck and the bullet. I haven't found any particular advantage to having a lot that contact with the neck.

PWS diablo 7.62X39 7.5" barrel accuracy problem

I normally wouldn't disagree with all of the comments about crappy ammo, but I know for a fact that Barnaul steel cased HPs are capable of some very good accuracy. I get anywhere from just under MOA to about 1.5 with Wolf HPs out of my Ruger American Ranch.

What twist rate is your barrel? What is the diameter of the bore? Somega barrels have a .308 bore and some have a .311 bore. Some ammo has .308 projectiles and some have .311 projectiles.

7.62x39 is just a big pain in the butt. With the exception of my Ruger American, and the stock of ammo I have for it, I've abandoned x39 in favor of 300BO. Not quite the thump, but it makes life a lot easier.

Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)


5 drops of MMO in your cam pin every 250 rounds will solve that problem.

Oh hell i see the crack now.
I thought you were showing that pile of carbon.

If you were running thecMMO that wouldn't have happened 🤣

CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE AND FLYING THE FRIENDLY SKIES

So there you go, you aren’t thinking of the right kind of study. It’s not a guy reading books making conclusions, it’s you hooked to a computer being personally monitored on a case to case basis.

no one who knows anything at all claims CPAPs cure sleep apnea, they are a treatment. You use treatment and cure interchangeably and it’s two different things.

Yes, you visiting the doctor and watching videos makes you the authority not the guy who went to school passed with more than a perfect score(extra credit questions in final) and worked in the field 🙄


me saying I don’t go to the doctor is saying I don’t trust them so you know.

I am not using treatment and cure interchangably.
I am aware cure and treat are different things.

If a doctor cures a patient, he can no longer treat him, thus he can no longer extract money from that patient.

11.5" Barrel and other suggestions

11.5" with a short can is perfection.
I don't if you saw that thread here about deals on Armalite barrels, but I grabbed a few 11.5 HBars. I threw one together with the intention of running a Cobalt Kinetics titanium, direct thread can. If you aren't familiar with that can, check it out. It weighs 6 oz. Should make for a nice setup with an overall barrel length of about 15".
I have both. To me the advantage for 12.5 is dwell time for full time suppressed and in theory mid gas
I totally get what you're saying about using a can to add dwell time. I've given it some thought myself with using a Polonium in mind, but I want a lighter rig.
