Precision Firearms now has a 6mm ARC load with the Barnes LRX. I decided to give them a try after being disappointed with the Copper Creek Cartridge Company load’s low velocity and ‘meh’ precision.
I am glad I took the chance.
I got about 1moa at 100 yards out of both my 18” Odin barrel and the 13” Criterion barrel I bought from Precision Firearms. I’ll try for better groups another time. It was cold, windy, wet, the bipod on my 18” broke, and I sucked!
Velocity was nice.
18” averaged 2654fps. (The copper Creek gave 2408 out of this same barrel.) PF lists 2650fps out of a 24” barrel, so this over-delivered. I saw no pressure signs.
13” averaged 2464fps (The Copper Creek load gave. 2170 out of a 12.5 tube)
