That is a sick build! Are you running bolt pressure loads? Please post results (load data, velocity, accuracy) as I'm considering a near identical build for PRS for an efficient, low recoil 6. Very cool!

I'll take the PlxC

For what it's worth, my gas gun pet loads are primarily with Varget. I'll be very interested to see how fast these same loads run in a bolt with a longer barrel as these are from an 18" Proof: 26.7 gn Varget with 108 ELDM 2545 fps 26.8 gn Varget with 105 Hybrids 2551 fps 29.7 gn Lever with 108...

That's awesome. Thanks for the insight!

Thanks! I'll check it out. I live in Utah and a lot of locals use Lone Peak. I ran one today and it was buttery smooth.

Good question - no real budget per se. I'm a relative noob to PRS but shoot a bunch. I ran my DT SRS through a few matches, but a more purpose built solution is preferable. I stumbled on this thread after Goigle brought me an article of the Howa 1500 in an Oryx chassis and got me thinking. I...

Chiming in as one of those gas guys who is considering a move to 6mm ARC bolt for competition. Given your experience, what action, barrel, chassis would you start with if you were looking to have fun and be competitive, but not wince every time it smacks a barricade?

For what it's worth, this is what I did. 16" Proof Barrel in a Q Fix with a Silencerco Omega using the Gtiffin Titanium Brake and Plan A Mount. Shooting 147s over 42.2-42.5 RL16 gives 3-shot groups in the .2-.4s and spits em out at 2555-2570 with SDs of 3.8 for 6 shots. With a Vortex LHT this...

Great input and results! Did you track velocities for those loads?

FWIW - I agree that there aren't a bunch of videos/posting showing great groups for the ARC - I find the same thing with the Q Fix. However, owning both with Proof CF barrels (18" ARC and 16" 6.5 Creed) I've had great accuracy into sub .5 moa groups with each, but had to find the bullet/powder...

Ha! Like a lava lamp! In the end - stuff like this makes it all worthwhile. My son out prepping before heading to some P-Dog towns... 8-year-old at 600 Yards

That F-Class barrel is artillery! Gorgeous rifles. You need to come to our neck of the woods to stretch their legs. We typically set up steel at 600, 1000, 1200, and 1800 yards when we head out. Fun to bring friends who hunt but don't shoot as much and ask them how far they think the 600...

This is where I ended up and backtracked - I have one sub 1/4 minute load for my DTA SRS (literally one hole groups half the time) that took quite a bit of time to perfect, but I ended up scrapping it as it's 41.3 RL 17 under 143 ELDx and RL 17 proved to be terribly temperature sensitive. I...

My reply is in the post above this one :)

Was actually pushing the 18" ARC. Does really well to 1100...1200 not so much Goal with the ARC was to replace my Grendels while adding a 6mm to the stable as I didn't yet have one. Since I live and shoot in Utah and surrounding areas, temperature swings are huge and I dislike temp...
