I've eyed one for years. I bet with a can, that would be a super fun gun to shoot.I bought a Howa mini-action in the same caliber.

Show up at Vaq's some time & check it out. It's threaded and there will likely be cans available.I've eyed one for years. I bet with a can, that would be a super fun gun to shoot.

I have a 6mm ARC that I have almost finished. Almost can't wait to get it to a range.I built a Grendel after scoring a good deal on an odenworks barrel and bolt. It’s a great shooter but now I want a 6 ARC. I’ve heard they are getting 4000 rounds plus accurate barrel life. Thinking I’ll build one on a mini howa action for the grandson to take deer hunting.
I bought a 6.5G upper on Gunbroker a few years ago. It came with dies and about 200 pieces of brass. SUPER soft shooting. Very tolerant of different loads. I paid $200 w/shipping for the upper package... Threw it on a cheap lower and it shoots MOA all day long out to about 500 yards, no drama whatsoever.I like the idea of the .224V, but I've heard way too much trouble with it trying to make precision loads. I've had an AR15 in 6.5 Grendel for years, and I like that cartridge so much, I bought a Howa mini-action in the same caliber. It's an easy cartridge to load and not finicky at all. It carries a lot more energy down range and has MUCH less wind drift. I compared factory 75g .224V & 123g 6.5G with the same wind on my ballistics calculator. At 800 yards, you get 71 vs. 51 inches of wind drift. That's a lot!
Another vote for the 6.5 Grendel.... but here lately I've really been wanting a 6mm ARC. I've seen a few coyote videos of guys make 700 yard shots with the 6mmARC. But I've also seen the video of a guy in Utah at the Milk jug challenge make a 1500 yard shot with a 22" Grendel AR.
It takes a 180° rainbow to get it down range.Where’s the love for short and fat rounds like .458S?
May not look sexy, but it’s the only thing that gives .45ACP a run for the money.
.30-06 is the perfect rifle round.Ok...I’m a sucker for 30-06 and biased.![]()
