Howa mini 6mm ARC available now!

[MTMAN]

I got a mini carbon about 3 weeks ago. Have only gotten around 25 rounds downrange. All factory ammo as I m working towards getting some once fired brass ready for load development.

I ve got 105 Amaxes also and plan to try those for LR targets and picked up some 80 gr Sierra Blitz for coyotes/chucks. Please share your load work ups. I ve got about 1/2 pound of CFE223 and got a couple pounds each of Varget and H4895. I might have to give up some velocity and work with those.

You should be able to get higher velocity with your 22" barrel than I have with my 20". I've loaded up to just under the max. suggested by Hornady and on a 25 degree morning was achieving 2780 fps with a 85 gr Speer BT and CFE223. Only about 1" groups - probably my fault on accuracy very cold out. With LVR Evolution under max 2912 fps with the same bullet and about same accuracy. 103 gr ELD-X factory 3 shot groups run .60" and velocity right at 2600 fps. Haven't tried Hornady Blacks yet, but the 108 gr AMax run 2550 in my rifle and 1" grps. Still have lots of testing to do to find my preferred load. Good luck with your new rifle. Would like to have ordered the light weight like yours but couldn't justify the extra cost.
