6 ARC powder consensus for heavies in AR

I’m trying to consolidate my powder stock so I don’t have 10 different powders for my rifles. Looking at dumping the Grendel and going 6 ARC and strictly shooting 95gr-108gr. 18-20” barrel.

I would like to believe that factory ammo would be consistent but my experience with Grendel during the last drought was different lots were all over the map accuracy wise so if I go this route I’ll be committed to me doing the loading. I started loading for the Grendel but lost interest in it.

So which powder should I start buying for the ARC?

Physical Fitness Any Financial Crimes LE reading this?

So… any LE (Fed or State/Local) dudes who work this stuff and aren’t doing anything more important…

Dude contacts me a week or so ago. Wants to buy a semi-pricey toy from me. We reach an agreement, he mails me a cashier’s check (image below) for $12,000, which arrived in today’s mail. Something felt “off” almost from the beginning, and as luck would have it, PNC is my bank too.

Check looks plausible, but there are a couple of things also a bit “off” about it. Call bank and after an hour of being bounced around, sho nuff it’s a fraud.

Pretty sure return address is bogus as it goes to a vacant $3 million home in upscale Saddle River, NJ. In straight text comms with scammer right now, so he’s still on the hook.

I’m out nothing but a half day of my time at this point.

But… he used USPS to mail a fraudulent $12K bank check interstate. Small taters and all, but figure there might be someone reading that knows how to put these pieces together, cuz I’m certain I ain’t the only target and there may be humans breathing that are dumber than me.

DM/PM if’n ye be wantin’ to chitchat.

For posterity (personal details redacted):

Need Help Identifying

I am trying to identify the stock and bridge on this rifle. Might be a long short but, i figured this would be a good place to start. I have a rem700 SPS TAC in 308 that I would like to try and build out like this. Any suggestions or thoughts will help put me on the trial. Thank you for taking a look.

Rugged Radiant

I'm not a suppressor expert by any means. I did some research and decided on the Radiant as it checked the most boxes for me. Light weight, Full auto rated, no barrel length restriction and relatively low back pressure. It made it to my dealer yesterday and I just got back from doing the paperwork/Efile. Without having shot it yet I gotta say this seems like a well built can. Anyone else here have one? How does yours shoot?. I plan to run mine on a long range hunting rig as well as my "battle" rifles.

Small rifle primer brass?

Am I throwing good money after bad by considering a switch to SRP 308 win brass? Large rifle primers seem to be unobtanium, and my supply is dwindling. SR primers aren’t exactly cheap, but availability seems to have normalized. I have a pretty good supply of LRP 308 win cases, but am thinking I should reserve my LR primers for long action cartridges like 30-06 and 270 win. Anyone regret going to SR primers for 308, or even 6.5 creedmoor?

Good article

Great analysis of electric cars

This uses Tesla as an example, but applies to all EV’s. Just that the left has a hard-on for Elon Musk since he crapped in their Twitter sandbox. So it’s a pile-on to trash Tesla. Any EV has the same basic breakdown. Including hybrids.

But this is a great analysis of the “real” footprint of an EV!

Suppressors ECCO Machine and AAC 762SD

I’m hoping some of you with some ECCO machine experience can help me out here. I have an AAC 762-SD with the 51T mount. It was my first rifle can and for its day it was a fine suppressor, but ever since I got my SiCo Omega it’s basically just been sitting in the safe. I recently changed barrels on my AI AE and decided to put the 762-SD on and try it out again. My results were less than stellar. Even after fitting the mount to the suppressor, my groups are noticeably larger with the cannon than without. For example, today when I went to the range I was seeing 1.11 minute groups with the can vs .78 minute groups without. To confirm this wasn’t a one off or a barrel specific issue, I also tried it on my 6.5CM AI and my groups were similarly larger after putting the can on.

My theory is that the main issue is in the mount. I just don’t think there’s any way to make the 51T mount as precise and repeatable as newer mounting systems, even after fitting. To solve this and not have to buy a new suppressor, I am considering having Ecco machine swap the factory 51T interface for the universal 1.375-24 interface. I believe* that would allow me to use an ASR mount as well as the direct thread mount that came with my Omega, which is currently gathering dust in its box. Before I commit to this though, I’d like to get some information and advice from those of who’ve already walked this path. My main questions are thus -

1: Am I correct in assuming that the most likely issue with my accuracy is the mount and not the actual suppressor itself? Have those of you who’ve gone this route with a 762-SD or similar AAC can seen appreciable increases in accuracy and precision after going to an ASR (or similar, modern QD system) or direct thread mount, or is the actual suppressor and it’s design at issue here?

2: Am I correct in assuming that my SiCo Omega direct thread adapter will work with an AAC can that’s been converted to the 1.375-24 interface?

3: since I’d like to keep this suppressor QD compatible, is the ASR mount an acceptable way to go for a precision rifle can?

4: For those of you who have done this or something similar, what were your general thoughts on the experience and results? Anyone other than Ecco worth looking at?

I’d love to hear feedback on any part of my diagnosis or my plan. I’d aLao appreciate any info on other’s experiences who have tried this or something similar in the past. I should also add; I am aware that there is an upgrade program through AAC that would basically turn this thing into a Ranger 7, however it’s much more expensive and I really, really like the tone and look of the old school AAC cans, especially on an AI rifle. I’d like to keep that style and tone if possible. Thank you all in advance!
