Has anyone loaded any light weight varmint bullets for your 6mm ARC? I've been thinking about doing that with Nosler 55gr Varmageddon bullets. There's no 6mm ARC loading data for that specific bullet that I could find but Hornady has data for their 58gr V-Max. I figure I'll start there but my powder stash is short on powders suitable for light 6mm bullets. AA2230 & VIHT N-130 are the only powders I have from Hornady's data. I want to use varmint bullets in the 6mm ARC 'cause I know where an over-populated prairie pup town is & I want a little more reach than my .223 Rem Savage 110.
One more thing to ponder... at a spin rate of 1:7.5", I'm wondering if the 55gr Varmageddon bullet will hold together? I've had Sierra 52gr .223 bullets disintegrate in my 1:8" twist Savage.
The cataract surgery on my right eye went well. Now, I just need the left one done. That'll be on 01/11.
