aaronedwards843 I ve been waiting on this. I need a 14.5". 1 like
  -  laruetactical @aaronedwards843 ... Why a 14.5", why not a 16" ?
  -  aaronedwards843 @laruetactical not much velocity lose between the two. 50-70 fps. Also chamber a round and check the oal from a factory round. See what the difference is. Most of us reloader have to adjust for that or get a barrel with a tighter tolerance. 1 like
  -  chris.edens @aaronedwards843 why give up the 50-70fps at all?
  -  mod_ukr @laruetactical Because 14.5 are the best. My 12.5 6mm is great.
  -  aaronedwards843 chris.edens why do people run shorter .223s? Same argument.
  -  chris.edens @aaronedwards843 most nerds go short because they want to CQB in their house because they think they're gonna operate. 1.5" off isn't making that an easier task.

intrepidtactics Beautiful. I've been considering going the 6mm ARC route. Seen and heard good things.

awilliams30808 Built my 6 ARC about 8 months ago and have since been on the look out for brass ever since. I did form a few from 6.5 grendel brass but prefer to have correct head stampings on all of my hand loads 3 likes
  -  josh_outdoorz @awilliams30808 Biggest problem with these new loadings, cant get the brass for them. All the PRC's and Nosler 20's brass is outrageous, same with 6.8 western
  -  chris.edens @awilliams30808 Hornady isn't selling brass. You gotta make it by shooting it.
  -  awilliams30808 Exactly....6.5 grendel is a basic parent case but requires wasting powder, primers and a bullet to fire form....so....when we do find 6 ARC ammo for sale....I tend to pick up 2 or 3 boxes
  -  awilliams30808 @josh_outdoorz I agree...I got my 6.5 grendel upper from Mark almost a year ago and it was 6 months later before I got to shoot it... 1 like
oathkeepercoffee Perfect now I'll take a full OD green larue over FDE.
darktedc Very nice! Love this cartridge.

michaelanthonybreeding How do you feel about the bolt life above the 52,000 psi mark?
  -  laruetactical @michaelanthonybreeding ... LOL. Not sure what accuracy will still be like above 50K rounds 😎 1 like
  -  michaelanthonybreeding @laruetactical I meant in terms of the strength of the bolt vs chamber pressure. Just curious since SAAMI max pressure is only 52,000 psi for gas guns and it seems like its because so much material is removed on an AR bolt. Also assuming this is true..... what's to stop someone from making a modified barrel extension to allow for a stronger/larger bolt to run higher chamber pressures? Could that be done within the upper barrel journal diameter? Just curious...
  -  laruetactical @michaelanthonybreeding ... I don't know or care about all that when guys are having trouble finding unfired brass to load with 😎 1 like
  -  craigthomas4699 @michaelanthonybreeding It can be done. Mad Dog Weapon Systems do it with their Fat Cat wildcats. My 6.5 Timberwolf is formed using 6mm norma brass with a 308 rim diameter, and that bolt has more meat than a 6.5 Grendel/6arc bolt.
  -  michaelanthonybreeding @craigthomas4699 is that for a gas gun? Wonder if they could do 6 arc with a meaty bolt. I hand load but would like to stick with saami cartridges for simplicity.
  -  craigthomas4699 @michaelanthonybreeding Yep, it's a gas gun. Check out maddogweapons.com to see their offerings. They have a fairly active forum too. Bruce might be able to make you a barrel with their extension and bolt if you ask.
amandajohnjenkins When are those gumna be for sale ?!!!
sierra_actual Outstanding!! What velocities are you getting? (If you checked)

realmda13 ML - we need a NY shaped Nolo Dillo. The $50 variety please.
those_arent_pillows Button pulled? Cut rifled? Are you guys rifling your own or profiling someone's blanks?
labronzejames In your opinion is it worth it over Grendel? Already have a 16" and 18" Grendel but Arc looks decent
  -  extremelongranger @labronzejames "worth it"? You've been around long enough to ask better questions. 2 likes
  -  aaronedwards843 @labronzejames all you will need a 6arc barrel. They use everything else that a Grendel does. 1 like
  -  labronzejames @extremelongranger your right. I guess I was looking for Mark's opinion on the round. When I was look at 6arc numbers it seemed like it was awfully close to 6 creedmoor. I know assumption is the mother of fuck ups but I assumed 6 arc was to Grendel like 6 creed is to 6.5 creed. Giving up energy for flatter shooting. But Hornady shows arc is flatter shooting and has more energy than Grendel. I didn't look at chamber pressure so maybe it's just loaded hotter. I don't have the shooting experience anything like you guys so thought someone would chime in
everythingoutdoorsjr I want this 🙌
geneg43 Its about time! Make sure you release a short version, perhaps an 11" or 12" in addition to the 16"! Looking forward to this!
