Powder work-ups
#4
One thing you might want to keep in mind, is that with such a relatively small "boiler room" (case capacity) in the 6 Arc, all the powders including Lever (which I think is the slowest but I might be wrong) reach 100% combustion at a very short barrel length, Lever at ~16" by my estimates. Of course you can still get some acceleration beyond that but it will be a law of diminishing returns.
I have a 107 smk bolt action load using lever, and the powder curve says 99.9% burned at 16" length, 17+ are all 100% burn. So consistent gas generation, and as much as possible b/c not all powders generate the same quantity of gas, will be a consideration.
