6mm arc alpha and peterson brass experience?

[PRSDietitian]

After seeing recent vids on 6 ARC from Greg and the guys at Full Circle Reloading, i'm highly considering a 6ARC gasser. I don't reload much but i do utilize guys like V3 munitions and others that can load ammo for me(i sold off my reloading gear a few years ago due to financial circumstances) and i'm looking at alpha and peterson brass for these.

What is everyone's experience with these brands in 6 arc and what have you noticed?

Also anyone have any good loads for 108 elite hunters for 6arc?

Im about to work up some loads with 2000-MR and AA2520 in some alpha brass. Will let you know it goes

I’m definitely interested in 2000mr!

I love that powder but im mostly using it to break in a new barrel. I wouldn’t develop any long term loads with it due to the parent company pulling it from US market

I just built a 6ARC upper a few months ago and started with Starline 6ARC brass to break it in and get initial velocity info. The Starline brass showed pretty early pressure signs even with the gas turned down pretty low(Superlative Arms adjustable gas block). This was with Leverevolutiins and Berger 108 Elite Hunters.

I bought 200 pcs of Alpha 6ARC and initial fire forming and showing very similar charge weight/velocity between Starline and the Alpha. I usually don't take the initial firing es/sd numbers too seriously but so far they look promising. I am hanging around 29.0-29.2gr Leverevolution with the Berger 108’s and seeing averages around 2600fps out if a 20” barrel. Im loading these with a autotrickler v2 so charges are consistent and seating depths are +/- .002”. I still get a few random velocities that will swing +/- 40-50fps so im hoping after this initial firing on the brass that will get sorted out.

I plan to compete in a few gas gun matches with this rig next year.

so, similar velocities but no early pressure signs?

Some of the rounds where the velocity swings high(typically 40-50fps above the average)will show some slight ejector marks but not anything that really concerns me.
