Been loading 6mmAR and 6mm Predator for quite awile. Hoping 6mmAR loads are similar, becuase I have quite a few notebooks of data.

Ok I took my new barrel out again today. with factory 103 ammo  and my new 3-9x50 scope . 1 inch group at 100yds indoor range. I'm happy. 

For what I am doing I think my best bet is factory ammo for now and for the foreseeable future .  Then we'll see 

Thanks for all the insight into what I would need to do for reloading .


Very happy with what I now have


Thanks for the help

I ordered the thru sight setup for my iPhone and a go-pro hero 9 so in Jan when I go to Hunt.

Just watched this (Rob's Reloading on Youtube) and I'm curious about other opinions on whether Hornady might be pushing the pressures a bit. I'm shooting Hornady Grendel brass sized to 6ARC. My load is 29.5grs of LVR under the Hornady 105. Velocity is averaging 2570-ish from a 16" Lilja. No problems with my brass but I'm just starting my 4th firing.

Been shooting 6.5 Grendel for about five years , just picked up a 20" barrel from BFT and some ammo and 103EDL-X ,90gr ELD-X , and 58gr V-MAX bullets to use with it , Hope to have it up and running soon , all I'm waiting  for is the barrel . Build is all done , looks great .

So far I have fired 20 rounds thru my new 6 ARC barrel , Before working up a load for this rifle would it benefit me to measure my rifle chamber ? I am looking at an add from Copper Creek and wonder if it is worth sending a fired brass to them or someone else to have a modified case made for my rifle ?


Thanks

Hey, guys, we're very pleased to announce our latest innovation: Our barrels will now come factory dimpled with our industry-first Dog-Point Dimple System (DPDS) for simple and solid installation of set-screw gas blocks.

Our new Dog-Point Dimple System (DPDS) replaces the set screw opposite the gas port with an extended-tip set screw, often called a dog-point set screw. This kind of set screw ends in a kind of peg, which mates with our pre-drilled dimple hole. Simple. Solid. Sweet!

Please see attached photos.

I know many of the 6.5Grendel board members are here. There is also quite of few knowledgeable and experienced members that may have experience with my particular question.

I built a pretty sweet bolt rig recently  to take me the next steps in my precision rifle trip. 6ARC of course, mainly due to a solid stock of tooling and components and previous XP. At bolt pressures it's a very solid performer. 

Now here is the meat and potatoes....I want to build a 22 cal variant due to sharing a bolt face. 
1-.  Is 22 Grendel the same as 224 LBC?
2-.  Is there a 22 Grendel Ackley Improved, similar         to the 6AR Turbo 40?
I for sure want an Ackey Improved Grendel based 22 but am lost on finding the reamer/chamber prints with Fat Rats/LBCs/Grinch/etc.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated and I hope y'all don't mind the slightly off topic question.
