Has anyone here done much load development on the 6mm arc yet? I'm going to start working something up soon for a 14.5"" Ar I built and I'm curious what the best powder choice is going to be. I have some varget around and It seems to be a little bit slower powder for this but still may be accurate

I have 100rds of hornady black 105g bthp to sight in and play with but I also picked up some new hornady brass and a pack of 103g ELD-x to load.

Just curious what you guys have come up with so far...thanks in advance!
 
Judging from online videos and some discussions, CFE223 is the sweet spot (.35 moa groups), and most are just starting on leverevolution. Those 2 powders seem to get the most of the 6 arc.
 
Also, some have had the 105 factory loads jam in the lands........I think the factory may have loaded some a tad long........ymmv

There's thread in the semi auto section where some have posted how their testing is coming along.

Keep us posted.......interested in what you come up with.
 
Just ordered 2lbs of CFE and I have varget on hand..going to do some comparisons with them running new hornady brass, br4 primers, and 103 ELD-X bullets going down a 14.5" gas gun
