Precision Firearms Barnes Bullet Loads- good velocities! - SBRSarge - 09-30-2024
I took my 6ARC rifles to the range today and ran PF’s Barnes 95gr LRX and 80gr TTSX 6mm ARC loads over my Garmin chronograph.
I was pleased with both. Each should give good expansion at any reasonable range.
Their website lists the 95gr LRX at 2550fps out of a 24” barrel. Ten shots out of my 18” barreled AR15 averaged 2709fps. Out of my 13” barrel the average was 2518fps.
The 80gr TTSX out of the 18” barrel yielded an average of 2879fps. The 80gr averaged 2684fps.
Sadly, it was a department range day and my range assistant took down the targets before I could measure the groups, but they were in the MOA range.

I didn’t know Barnes was loading Arc. I am going to have to try those. I have killed a few deer with the 70gr X Bullet and it did really well. A 90+- grain out of the Arc could be very effective.

These are loaded by Precision Firearms with Starline brass and Barnes bullets. Barnes hasn’t gotten into the 6arc yet.
