Finally finished my 6mm Arc build……and yes I’m new here so I figured I’d join up if I’m becoming part of the 6mm Arc family
Mega upper/lower
18” SS Proof
Seeking precision adjustable gas block
CMC 2 stage
JP bolt and carrier
Looking at reloading data and can only find Hornady published loads.
I’ve never handloaded for a gas gun
But I have 3 decades of handloading experience in bolt action rifles
Question: has anyone tried Reloader 15.5 powder. I’m hearing it’s very temp intensive and it falls in between:
CFE 223 and Leverevolution
I’m looking to develop a deer hunting load and target load
Both these powders give the best velocities. But are not known for temperature stability. It seems Reloader 15.5 might be ideal for speed and temp stability.
Leaning towards 3 billets for hunting:
90 grain Nosler accubond
95 grain Nosler BT
103 grain Hornady ELDX
For target I haven’t decided but something from Berger or Sierra with high BC
