I don’t do much hunting but have on occasion so I picked up some Sierra 100 gr TGK to develop a load with. I believe I will see a velocity of around 2720 fps with bullets in that weight range but haven’t had time to confirm yet. Should make an effective small to medium game cartridge in a small package.
I have my fave Arc, is a 22" bolt one, but recently got an 18" gasser and am trying to relate to it. So this post is timely for me.
As rule in my other barrels I have tended towards 20, 22, or 24, not much of 18... but you know, perhaps the 18 is the ticket in the 6Arc.
I'm thinking that in general, if you can get into the 2525-2550 range with the right bullet wt, you'll have a node. I think I might see one in mine with 2585 and the 103 Eldx, but still experimenting. (my reasons are primarily for hunting). So I'm looking with the 90 Tgk and 103 eldx. Roger on the 112's line of thinking, but I haven't gone that high in weight...
