I guess I must have posted this question in the wrong venue on facebook, so I hope I'm in the correct location now. I have inherited 3 different AR15s from a friend who is no longer with us, and I promised him that I would help his wife sell the guns to help his disabled son, but I don't feel...

My first post on the 6 ARC was about having my seating die make a ring around the nose of the bullet and the basis for that thread and post was that loading the 33.0g of Lever in my cases caused the bullet to compress the powder. I'm not sure How Hornady was able to get 33.6 into the case...

Loading 27.5g with Starline 6.5 Grendel sized to 6 ARC, Win WSM primers and 75g Hornady Vmax. Off the tailgate of my truck @ 100 yards, it shoots a 5 shot .68 in group. 2 weeks ago it was able to shoot through a mesquite tree and bag a coyote after knocking a branch out of the tree. Even...

Yes, I have both the #11 insert and their app for the 6 ARC. That is where I got my load data.

I have been working on some 6 ARC loads, and sort of ran into issues using Leverevolution powder. When I dropped 33.0g behind a 75g Vmax bullet, it ended up being a compressed load, and my seating die would make an indented ring on my bullets. I have loaded 204 ruger and 5.56 nato with...

I find that my RCBS seater is not as bad, but does mark the bullet also. I am waiting for Mighty Armory to introduce their 6ARC seating die. Wayne's description sounds like it might solve the issue.

I have been reloading since the early 80s, and have not seen this issue arise until I began loading 223 and 6 ARC varmint bullets. Particularly the 6 ARC. I am using both the Hornady 6 Arc and the RCBS 6 ARC small base set. Both sizing dies are using their respective expander setups for the...

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any experience with this powder? I've read that it is a really dirty powder, and is what Hornady uses in their 6mm ARC factory loads. I have to say I agree about it not being a clean burning powder, but it does look good (at least from you tube videos)...

What I like about them is that when they send out a notice, it is a pending preorder that has been shipped, and they will let you order before it even gets in. Sure, you tie up funds for maybe a week, but what they list is a confirmed receipt. I've bought several cans of powder through them...

Maybe a relatively obscure location is a retail store that does sell over the internet. It is Salida Gunstore. They seem to get stuff in fairly regularly and they will notify you if you are on their mailing list and announce order contents they are expecting.

I hope my thread does help. I can't imagine that I am the only one who has these issues and questions. Thanks for the positive comment. I did some more experimenting last night and I talked with both Andy from Grendel Hunter and with TEXASforLIFE, and I now believe that some of what I...

I have the one on the left, the straight one. I have already done the check with the gauge. What I measured was within .002 of the value for the OAL that was shown for that 87g Vmax bullet, 2.140. The factory loads are 2.260 +/- a couple of thou. I do not have the original nitride BCG. It...

It was all factory ammo that I shot. I have a Hornady OAL setup gauge, and when I used it on this rifle, with the loads that I did, I found that when I inserted the modified case w/bullet into the chamber and then slowly pushed it until it met resistance, the OAL was right in accordance with...

Thanks. That app is what I am using to reload the cases I have fired. It's not the load data I was asking about. Where my problem lies is when I chamber a round using the mag, and then try to unload the round, I have a really hard time getting the round out of the chamber. I think it's a...

I have a friend that recently got me interested in the new 6 ARC. I was previously shooting a Ruger 556MPR and decided to retain the upper configuration in the 556 and go with a new upper in the 6 ARC. I purchased a complete upper from Grendel Hunter with a 20 in barrel and 6.5 Grendel NiB...
