I am looking at buying some more CFE 223. I see a lot of websites that sell 8# jugs from $200-250 but you can only pay by bitcoin, cash app, zelle, or venmo. From reading other peoples experience with these paying services you will NOT get any of your money back if SHTF with the seller. I have found a few sites that use the same pay services but also include paypal. I use paypal all the time but still I am a little worried with those websites. Where have you guys buy your CFE223 lately?

Since I don't see anyone posting about IMR 4895, even though the 6mm ARC Facebook page with QL data shows promise, I might as well post some findings. I went out to the range to test a few loads with IMR 4895 for velocity, pressure, and function. Velocities are two-shot strings.

Gun: AR-15
Barrel: 18" Proof Research SS
Bolt: JP HP bolt
Muzzle Device: GA Recce 7
Magazine: ASC 6mm ARC 15-rd

Bullet: 108gr Berger Elite Hunter
Lengths: 2.265" (1.650" 3-24 comparator)
Case: *-* 6.5 Grendel once-fired
Lengths: 1.480" (1.185" B350 comparator)
Primer: CCI 450

             Velocity      ES
25.5gr   2337 fps     5 fps
26.0gr   2398 fps    13 fps
26.5gr   2444 fps     8 fps

Since temp. stability of IMR 4895 is in question overall, I will play with that down the road.

Like many of you, I'm skeptical of advertising claims, but I've got some cool news for the 6ARC Army. 

Yes, Hornady, claimed that 6mmARC was developed at the request of a Department of Defense (DOD) entity. And, yes, we want to think that Hornady is not outright lying to the public for the sake of marketing their new cartridge.

So, like anything the corrupt Mainstream Media establishment says these days, I assume marketing claims are not really true until independently verified.

Turns out Hornady wasn't lying.

In a Military Arms Channel Youtube video, there is a short mention starting at 14:10 that the SEALs are, indeed, using 6mmARC. For video, click HERE.

Has anyone tried these? Shooters Pro Shop has blems for 28¢ per. Not going to be fast, but G7 is .312 which bests the 105 by >10%.

How y'all doing? PRS shooter (gas gun) and 6 ARC owner. Aero Precision upper, 24" hvy brl, silencer co billet lower, Athlon 5x25x50 glass. Absolutely love this rifle/caliber.

Hello from southwest Idaho. I have started out with a bolt 6mm ARC, a Savage Axis ll, but may try a gas gun later on.

All,

I have just started annealing my brass each time I reload. If you anneal in the reloading process when do you do it? Do you anneal before resizing or after resizing?

Looking at doing something different. I currently have an 18" Proof setup. Looking at doing a short ARC

I would like to run the Faxon 12" barrel because of the barrel being short and nitrided for barrel life/corrosion resistance. I do plan on running this both suppressed and un-suppressed and having a quick gas adjust would be nice. I am looking at going the Noveske Switchblock route. At the moment they only have 5.56 and 6.8 SPC "tunings" for the system. For carbine gas systems they have 14.5-16", 12.5", 11.5", 10.5" barrels in 5.56, and 12.5" barrels for 6.8 SPC. If I go with the Switchblock route, what setup should I use? I will message Noveske as well and see if they could possibly help.

Anyone have an idea who makes this bullet? I searched for a comparable bullet made by Sierra, Remington, Hornady & Nosler. The closest was Hornady's 95gn SST but it has a red tip, not green like these. Does Hornady put different colored tips in their factory second bullets? Neither Sierra or Nosler have a flat based 6mm, 95gn bullet. Nosler tips are violet in 6mm.
