G’day From Australia - Harronek - 11-21-2024
G’day
I’ve been reading and watching for a little while and decided to join up because I have now joined the 6mm ARC owners club with a Howa Mini Bolt Rifle.
I’m looking forward to participating and contributing when and where I can .
Regards

Welcome! Which version on the mini did you get? I have the Mini Hunter with 20 inch barrel.

Welcome aboard!
What is your intend use for your Howa? What bullets & powders do you have in mind to achieve your goals?

G’day
The intended use is for small-medium Pigs and Dogs ( Dingoes are our equivalent to your Coyotes ) .
I currently use a 6x45 / 6mm223 with Sierra 85gr hpbt and H2206 ( your H4895 ) which chronograph at 2865fps out of a 22 inch barrel .
The Howa 6mm ARC is a 20 inch barrel . I plan on running the same projectile as I have a lot of them and they work very well for my type of shooting .
If the ARC can’t better the 6x45 by at least 150fps then I suspect I’ll just stick with the 6 x45 .
I have only just got the Howa ( today ) and have 80 rounds of Factory 108gr ammo to play with this coming weekend before I start reloading for it .
My hopes are high that the ARC will perform

Welcome!
It will be interesting what speeds you get. I haven’t played with anything lighter than 105’s in my gas gun. I do want to try some lighter bullets.
