I love that you’re in a place with you loading/guns that a .75 inch group is a crappy group! Lol! You’re killin’ it man!!
"I doubt we'll blow our face off, but, thats why we test." Awesome! LOL
What a great day. Home from work travel, rest up, enjoy the cool weather, and then this video pops up! There is no one who makes content like this, of this quality. Thank you JRB!
Panhandle Precision is better.
Nobody even close
I am absolutely amazed by the arc. I am retiring my 6mm remington. And it seems to be a great replacement. In my 30-30, i load 34.5 lvr under 160 gr ftx
To have a load that is keeping up with the 243 Winchester in an AR-15 platform is impressive. This round will be here to stay in my opinion. Damn good groups too!
I shoot 90 grain 3400 fps+ out of a 243 win. These 90 grain 6 arc are 2800 fps. 600 fps slower than 243 win. How is that keeping up?
Rerun the LVR in the summer so we can see how much to reduce the load for temp.
I get similar results with CFE223 in my 243LBC (basically a 6mmAR) I was shooting 32G behind a 100G Speer spbt this summer on a 105 deg. day I had a primer back out. Goes out at 2900fps. Got a deer this fall with this bullet and 31G CFE223 (2800fps)
That first group is job done brother.
Awesome groups. Awesome Set up. Good Job.
Awesome load! Can’t wait to see the heavier bullet loads
Great video. I've been looking at putting together a 6 ARC and loading these bullets. The 165g TGKs have turned into my favorite bullet for 300WSM so I was excited to find this video. Much appreciation.
Shooting a 25x45 sharps. 90 grains GMX. at 2900fps. just over .60"groups....
The best talking hands for reloading data on TH-cam..... I appreciate your work sir.
I have been watching your videos for years. You have saved me SO MUCH TIME AND MONEY I appreciate it!!! THANK YOU
heck yeah! fantastic groups! my barrels on order!
I enjoy your reloading videos! I have been reloading for twelve years and I continue to learn. Please firm up your workbench and strengthen your press mount. You'll enjoy the greater stability and it might even add to your load precision. Keep up the good videos!
Congrats on the nice buck! Hope you had great luck finding some does
Great work lots of good info. I’m actually using the same bullet in my 6mm Grendel wildcat.
I use it for everything from targets out to 1,000 yards to deer, coyotes and woodchucks(ground hogs).
I’m impressed with the terminal effect on a relatively light bullet. It actually passed through a large doe I shot at 478 yards which I found only 50 yards away from the spot she was hit. Good luck hunting!
Glad to see you’re take on 243 ARC.
Always great content !
I have a 6mm FatRat and it shoot very well with 95 & 107gr bullets. Nice to see Hornady paying attention to what wildcat shooters are doing.
Yea, Hornady's LeverEvaluation is phenomenal. I used it in my Gran-grans Model-8 in .30 Remington using 2.2cc's under a Sierra Pro-Hunter 150 and got just over 2520 feet per second. And gods is it accurate, all groups right at, or under 1"-MOA at 100 yards. What really makes this a great powder is that even with this velocity in a rifle that original 170 grain flat noses were pushing it to get to 2100 fps. The actual pressures are lower 34,000 vs. 37,000, what's not to love about that.
This is going to be good. Good luck.
All the 90g Gamechangers I have shot in the 243 have been just like that. Amazing shooting bullet.
Great 👍 6mm arc reloading. Congratulations 🎈
have watched 99 percent of your videos , always impressed , one thing I would suggest is target shape , resting cross hairs on a 90 degree target has advantages , I cut 2 inch round stickers into 4 pieces or print out square targets and use all 4 corners for 4 groups per square , thanks for posting great content
Great video Sir and thanks for sharing 😉👊
Having my 6 ARC barrel made by Eagle eye shooting at Desert precision gun works. Can't wait to get it and do some load development here on TH-cam.
I chuckled with you when you shot that one group where you said your done pack it up.
Yay i been waiting all day
Nice Harvest!!!!!!!!! Wish we had deer in Az. like that.
This was a good video! Getting excited to load some ammo again and make more videos
Neat, I've been missing the last few live streams.
The 6 ARC is the goods man
LeverEvolution is the way to go!
Them are great SD great velocity dang !!!
So I've been watching your channel for a little over two years now. I love all the different testing and experiments you've done on all these different rifles and calibers.
The one thing that has bothered me for the longest time is why you have never done a Satterlee ladder test? Your method of optimal charge weight testing, in my opinion, seems to be quite haphazard. You've got some seriously nice testing equipment these days and I would love to see some videos of you working up a load with the Satterlee method.
Personally I start every load with a Satterlee to find a optimal velocity node, and then tighten up the grouping with small seating depth adjustments.
Anyways, love the channel and keep up the good work!
I have a 6mm ar turbo that I built. 6mm grendel with 40° improved. Tested 95gr pills out to 700 yards before deer season, very accurate, shot my deer at 65 yards 😆
At least you were ready.
Just loaded some 140 gold.dots with staball 65 in creesmore hoping to kill with them. Quite excited. Did not get a chance to chronograph the load just groups for now. But should be a good load I would think. Amd glad to see thr content coming back Johnny was kind of wondering what the he'll was going on
I love lvrevo! This is what I use in my 6mmbr with 108gr eld's I use 30 grains and get right at 2900fps out of a 29" barrel with .201" 5 shot groups.
H335 is a great powder, lower pressures and velocity as well, it is my go to powder for 6PPC, 6.5 Grendel, and 6ARC, meters well, fast burning, clean and very readily available
1 group and "I think we're done here" LOL The 6arc will be my next build for sure it's such a cool round...
Shooting my Rare Breed Spartan AR15 with 6mmARC with108 Hornady ELD-M using 29.7grs of Leverevolution at 600 yards hitting a Dime cold bore shot @ 2711 fps ..
I Killed a Axis deer with it at 535 yards. Its a bad ass round.
Previously I blew a couple Primers trying out Vihta Vuori N133 . It was my fault.I was over Max and knew it. Great Video.You always have great real world videos..I really like and appreciate them.Thanks
I, too, prefer a passthrough. I recall when I was working up my load at the range and a fellow ranger-goer suggested that I use my Sierra Matchking loads to go hunting, since they were more accurate. I looked at him like he was stupid, but he looked at me like I was stupid. It was a stupid-off; I am still looking forward to how the Nosler Ballistic Tips are going to perform.
Maybe for two legged game 😉
Grabbed some of these bullets last week, so I searched some videos on them and found this. Went out earlier and shot several groups out of my 6mm creedmoor with IMR4350. Max published charge gave me a 5 shot group of just over .30” with an average velocity of 3313, with an ES of 20 and SD of 9. Would have liked a better ES and SD, but 3300 FPS is smoking! No pressure signs at all. Didn’t plan on hunting with this rifle, but I found these bullets, and I think I may take it to the stand.
Outstanding accuracy and velocity in a compact gas gun. That rig is a keeper for sure.
My go to 6mm is a 6x47 Lapua - But, I've yet to try the 6mm ARC - Good luck on the hunting trip
i really love sierra bullets for target but not being bonded is a deal breaker for hunting with me. but with them picking up barnes makes me really excited. so we'll see where that goes.
Great video as always. Johnny. That load will definitely drop a white tail. Kind right on the line of 243 win balistic I WOULD SAY. can't wait here how hunting went with it.
2900 fps 90 gr 6mm arc.
3400 fps 90 gr 243 win.
Not the same.
First grouping - "I think we done here". Me thinks so too!!
Nice shooting man!
Awesome video
Great video
God damn william tell loads. Jeez. Awesome
I have had some of the tips break off on me in my 6ARC. That may explain the second shot on the Varget load. Who knows.
Like that bonded bullets
Nice job on your videos,
Good stuff
I wish my 6x45 were more main stream it's a necked up 223 to 6mm and I love it just a barrel swap 70gr are at 3000 fps I love the 85 Sierra gk bthp for deer dropping
Man o man Johnny I wish ya would have kept your outdoor channel bubba I would have loved to have watched those hunts and maybe seen how those bullets preformed on the critters
oh, one more comment, Xcellent loading methodology, and more importantly, planning /forethought.
Man I know you live stream other places but your TH-cam vids keep me coming back, nice groups.
I’m sold. I wish my CMMG barrel would get off back order!
I think you should have gone with the 31. Gr that 6mm arc is awesome.
This is a great cartridge. Right now it was designed for SOCOM, but I really hope the whole US military goes to this cartridge. It pretty much doubles the range and energy of the 5.56 with a 62gr bullet.
Why the military keeps .556 (the poodle shooter) is beyond me. I believe exactly how you do.
Been watching a ton of your videos the last few days. Love watching your process.
Was wondering if you ever do seating depth ladders?
I cannot believe that little case produced almost 3000 ft per second out of an 18 inch gas gun. I would absolutely love a tikka t3 with a 22inch barrel in a bolt gun. 3100 might be achievable in that scenario. 👏 WOW!!!
You must have a great barrel definitely impressive groups and velocity’s.
New lever evolution vs old would be interesting to compare
90gr Nosler Accubond is the best I have tried in my 6mm ARC, great with 28 gr IMR 3031.
I’d love to see a 178gr eld-x 308 win reloading session.
Your best group was the first charge of leverevolution. Less vertical dispersion than any of the others. It’s not always about how tiny tiny you can make your group. At distance the first charge will shoot better. Also. If you’re .020 from the lands the FURTHER you get away the less pressure you’re going to have. Loading longer gives you less of a head start when you’re already that close which is going to raise pressure....
I would take the Varget powder because of temperature sensitivity! I have LeverEvolution powder and have no idea what is their temperature sensitivity factor. I agreed with EWA Thoughts to rerun the LVR in the summertime! Good video!
I'll take your first group all day long. 30.5 Lever Revolution appears to be the magic
I'm reduced to watching your videos multiple times without being able to relike them! WTH!
6.5 grendel ftw!!!
I'm just gonna say it......... I fucking love your videos!!!!!.... I've been watching for 4-5+ years, and I drop what the hell ever is going on and watch. Not gonna get Into the 6mm arc just yet, but damn if I wont here soon. Just let me know when you're ready for some damn deer rolls, deer steaks, and possibly some bear stew. Family and I are gonna come dine your ass. It's been a pleasure my friend, and I hope and wish you nothing but the best!
Well I talked myself out of doing a 6mm arc because I have 3 grendels but I been watching all of your 6mm arc videos and I’m kinda back leaning towards pulling one of my Grendel barrels for an arc barrel. Been using my 18” faxon match series gunner barrel and it shoots lights out with almost every factory Grendel round I’ve tried and I have some hand loads shooting 1/2 moa and actually have a 100gn nosler bt handload shooting into 3/8” groups. Haven’t really grouped the 12” Odin works barrel too much but I’m pretty impressed with your Odin works arc barrel and my 12” Grendel so I think that’s what ima go with but think ima get the 16” cuz it’s going to be pretty much a designated hunting rifle
I have been shooting a 6mmAR for a little over 10 years. And yes its the same one as the ARC. I have found that single loading like for match style shooting improves greatly. The AR auto load cycle is not a friendly action for this style of cartridge. Unless your trying Barnes Bullets seated further back. Just my 2 cents.
One day when the market makes up it's mind I'll get one of those caliber's uppers.
I already reload for 30-06 and 357sig, and I don't want to reload for yet another expensive cartridge, maybe I'll get the 6.5G since it's a bit cheaper and call it a day, because I'd definitely have to reload for 6arc, that round is more expensive than ammo for my 06.
I would like to see some other powers as well as varget with the 105class bullets powder is hard to find right now and would like to see some powders that can work outside the box thinking like h322. I know they list a few powders in the Hornady book but good luck finding any of the lever evaluations or cfe223 in stock anywhere. You have been key in making some of my loads with powders not listed anywhere for that bullet.
More likely the bullet tip came off. Reduce the BC to what it would be without the tip and see if it corresponds to the really slow impact velocity at 100yds, as well as the rate of velocity loss. Could be induced by magazine-feeding in a high cyclic rate action, especially with a longer COL.
I see a high speed camera in JRB future.
I mean did the dang jacket come off??
Johnny I'd love if you would do a mid price precision rifle build for noobs while also testing the lyman ultimate reloader kit!
Kind of an entry level build to get into PRS
I'm going too build a 6 ARC AR15 soon, please more 6 ARC videos!
Looks like I'm in luck. I stopped by bass pro the other day and they had a can of LVR on the shelf and I said what the hell. Now I know it's destiny
I wish you luck! My rifle season just ended and I got skunked.
Come to SC. August 15 to Jan 1
Same here. My first year deer hunting ended with a big fat zero
In Ohio when gun season starts i stay out of the woods. It's just safer. I can wait since I have a long bow season. When a big boy walks in your sights everything else about safety seems to go out the window.
@@bmstylee i haven't got a bow setup yet but will next fall. Also, it was less expensive to get 2 rifles setup than 2 bows for deer season this year. I took my son out hunting for about 5 full days and we just seemed to be in the wrong places while out there but we did actually get to see a couple of bucks just never had a clear shot.
Pa gun session has stared yet. Kicks of Saturday after Thanksgiving. Archery end last Friday. Bear rifel open up Saturday
You’re spoiling us with this upload schedule
A high BC 90gr 6mm Bullet going 2750+ fps out of an AR15 is exactly the kind of game changer the Military needs.
Good luck
Bullet number 2 hit a bug. well it used to be a bug.
I would lean more to a broken off ballistic tip being the cause of the lower velocity. Lower B.C. more drag, slower impact velocity at 100 yds
Johnny!
We need more ARC vids dude :) some AR Comp and 95gn VLDs would be Sweet. Or some 105s or 115s.
Chateau ‘de lever evolution only seems to get better with age
Dissenters make fun of 6ARC. Yes there is already similar 6mm AR15 cartridges, but Hornady has marketing power and can popularize it AND it can handle 100+ grain bullets by design. I'm a fan. I'm building one.
You should try to film some of your hunts with your 6ARC. Would like to see how well it works for deer sized game.
Great series would love to see this done with a 243 bolt gun and see how they go.
The idea with the 6ARC was to improve the range and energy of an AR without increasing the weight of the gun to a 10lb AR-15.
The ARC doubles the AR .556 energy and gives it a third More range. The .243 you have, in an AR would weigh 10-12 lbs since it’s based on the 308 brass and would be in an AR 15 platform...jus’ sayin’.
,
@@terryslaton5582 Yeah that’s why he said he wanted to see it in a bolt gun
Variety is a very reliable stable powder. Deviation isn't bad either.
I'd like to see a video on 6mm ARC with 55gr to 75gr bullets. I think this would be a good fit for a coyote round.
WOOHOOO!!!
Johnny, I'd really like to see a lead free bullet comparison. Barnes, Hornady and Nosler. I can contribute Barnes 80 and 95 to the project.
I really wanna see Leverevolution with 108s and 110 Atips. 6.5 creedmoore territory for sure
