I wanted the 6mm arc in the Howa mini w/Oryx but when the Savage Switchback arrived back in Dec. I jumped on it. Immeditely put the varmit trigger spring in it and the Oryx chassis on it. I love this rifle and caliber. I have worked up numerous loads that shoot 1/2'' groups consistently. Ringing steel at 500 is boringly easy and eventually will find a place to shoot out to 1000.
I thought that by now there would reports on the Howa mini in 6 arc and hope to see the rifle available soon as it should be a great rifle for the arc.
I had or collected most of the powders that are listed as good for the arc and they include PP 2000 MR/ Win 748/ A 2520/ Lever/ CFE 223/ Sta Ball/ Win 760. 748 might just be the best for small groups but not the best for velocity. I have not loaded Lever or Sta Ball yet but the others all are capable of consistently producing small groups.
