    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Thanks Yonderling!! I have an adjustable gas block that is set as low as it will go and still function the rifle. I don't remember if it was you or someone else who told me that I needed to set it so that it just locked the bolt back and not worry about where the brass was landing. This along...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    If it is not increasing the pressure then why am I getting the belt when using the can and I don't get it when I don't use it?? What is causing it to want to "Unlock" to early if it isn't excess pressure???

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Thank you for the reply. I don't have a go-no go gauge or know of anyone who has one. I know that part of my issue is excess pressure for a combo of using a can and going by Hornady load data. I was loading at the top of their recommended data and today I got a copy of Hodgdon's reloading data...

    Couldn't I do the same thing by completely closing the adjustment on the gas block???

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I just used the same buffer set up that was on my .223 and I have switched lowers a couple of times and have had NO feeding or any other issues. Same on the one we built for my son in law. I think personally it is a none issue don't over think it......

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I check my scale almost every time I set down to load so it is not a scale issue. My two biggest problems was some once fired brass from another person and then using a can which was more than likely over gassed. BUT with that being said I still have had some messed up brass loading with new...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    That is how I have it set now. Mine has "Clicks" I set it to where it just locks open and then go to more clicks. I tried just one click but every once in awhile it would not lock back. But the other issue is I was working with multiple loads and that kind of sucks for adjustments so I am sure I...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I have had some of the same issues with the Starline brass. I honestly believe that was an overpressure thing since it also tore up the face of my brass. I don't understand why though I have never exceeded the max on Hornadys load recommendations. I do see now that Hodgdons data is out and they...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    We have issues with the camera not down loading to my email so I can get a picture. Were trying again to see if we can get a picture for you. My brass pretty much looks like the picture at the bottom of the page on 35. I tried cranking the die down a tad and it just makes the belt narrower. When...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    So as a recap, I take it that if you get the dreaded "Grendel Belt" your brass is basically Junk?? There is no way to get rid of it??? I have a 100+ Lapua cases that all have it. The belt measures anywhere from .442 to .448 most of it falls in the .444 range + or- a .001 Any that I have tired...

    Bmghunter, I have a feeling things will start coming back on line this summer. There are already people who are getting powder and some primers. You will find various bullets from time to time too. I am keeping a positive outlook on things. It is really a neat round!! I love mine!!

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I do think that is part of my issue. I started off with formed Lapua Grendel to 6ARC and was loading at the top of the scale that Hornady had put out for the ARC semi autos. I went back and looked at my load data and noticed I had several loads with CFE and one with Varget that were .5gr over...

    So what is the best brass to use for the ARC?? Stick with Hornady or Starline?? Thanks!!!

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Ledzep, All of my brass was 6.5 Grendel brass that was necked down to 6ARC brass. I believe my issues started when some of the brass I bought was "Once fired" brass. Total there was 100 new Lapua cases and 60 or so once fired in a 6.5 Grendel. I didn't pay that much attention when I Sized it all...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    In your opinion what is the best brass to use in the 6ARC to prevent this??? I have 6.5 grendel brass in both Lapua and Starline then some factory 6ARC brass. If you get the belt is this a case for concern or just the nature of the beast???? Thanks!!
