    6mm ARC sizing Woes

    Okay, this is still a problem even after trying a 3rd die. Hornady, Lee now a Forester FL die. So I’ve read now that if you’re running your loads at max end, sizing will crush cases because the case walls at the base of the Grendel/ARC are thin. Are you’all dealing with this. I have some new...

    Anyone mistakenly put a 6mm ARC round in a 6.5 Grendel?

    Any of you have a muzzle device when you sent the wrong round?

    Anyone mistakenly put a 6mm ARC round in a 6.5 Grendel?

    Not an issue when using brass specific to that cartridge but when loaded in brass with the same head stamp, it’s not as easy as a .243/.308. I’ve not taken the Grendel out since I got into the ARC and am pretty sure I would have chosen the 6mm just for the better velocity. I do like to think I...

    Anyone mistakenly put a 6mm ARC round in a 6.5 Grendel?

    Yep I can see how this can be a serious issue should one lose focus. I’ve enjoyed the Grendel for years but have decided to eliminate the possibility of making that error and just play with the ARC. And it being a matter of just changing out the barrel (and verify head space), I ordered a 20”...

    Preferred Barrels?

    I’m looking to do a a pre-fit bolt gun and would like to hear from those using Preferred Barrels. I’m aware of other options just looking into these. Will be using a Zermatt TL3 action and a Foundation Genesis stock and will be chambered in 6mm ARC. Thanks.

    6mm ARC sizing Woes

    Couldn’t get the decapping pin out of the way on the Lee die to get a good measurement with the tools I had. The Hornady die measures 0.436

    6mm ARC sizing Woes

    Yep I got a hold of a Lee FL sizing die and sizing the Starline brass now is near effortless.

    6mm ARC sizing Woes

    Yep weird I didn’t have this issue when I first sized the the new brass (effort to size was excessive I thought). This is after brass was fire formed in chamber.

    6mm ARC sizing Woes

    I’m sure others must have had this happen. 6.5 Grendel Starline brass sized down to 6mm ARC using a Hornady Custom Grade full length sizing die with Imperial sizing die wax and a LE Wilson case gauge. Even though using Imperial wax sparingly, effort needed to size fire formed brass is excessive...

    Loading 6mm ARC on a Dillon 550?

    Great thanks

    Loading 6mm ARC on a Dillon 550?

    I see the caliber conversion for the 6.5 Grendel where shell holder/buttons would work but no kit for 6ARC. Gonna get ahold of Dillon and see if one of the other 6mm powder funnels will work with Grendel shell plate/buttons. Anyone make this work?

    Ballistic Advantage barrel users?

    I don’t want to know 🤣 guess I’ve been fortunate and as long as mine keep shooting I’m good 🤣🤣

    Ballistic Advantage barrel users?

    Sounds good. 3/4 moa and near 2700 fps from my 22” is what I’m shooting for.

    Ballistic Advantage barrel users?

    Nope I just slapped it together like quite a few before it but yes no doubt truing would eliminate that doubt regarding accuracy. But you see that target r.tenorio671 posted , specifically the group on the right, I can get my Grendel to consistently group like that with Sierra 120 mk’s/AR Comp...

    Ballistic Advantage barrel users?

    👍 right now I’m trying to get my 6 arc to shoot but next time I run out to the range I’ll shoot multiple 5 shot groups with both my BA 556 with hornady 75 bthps and my 6.5 Grendel with Sierra 120 mks and let’s see if we can’t “surprise “ you. You know now a days, and for quite a while, it’s...
