Who’s got a 6 arc?

[mtmuley]

They seem cool for someone who wants a factory ammo capable option with minimal recoil, max barrel life, and sufficient ballistics to get out to reasonable distances. I'd just be hard pressed to choose one over a 6 BR/Dasher if the intention is to shoot nearly all handloads. Wouldn't need a one off bolt face to work with a BR based cartridge either.

It seems like the guys wanting to push the heavy bullets in a 6 ARC often lean heavily on non-temp stable ball powder to get there. A modest load of varget/h4895 or similar in a BR based case to get the same performance sounds more desirable than having to push on it.

Optimized for the AR platform, correct? mtmuley

For someone that hand-loads and in a bolt gun, BR, Dasher, or GT are better options in my opinion. I have the latter two and they have been very easy to tune and produce very minimal recoil. Also had a HOWA mini in 6arc. Didn’t care for the mini platform at all.

Is there a reason why you would like the arc over a dasher?

One of my hunting partners looked very hard at building a 6 Arc. In the end he ended up going the 6 dasher route.

Why would I want a dasher? Is there good brass available?

I appreciate all the other options but nobody yet is telling me what’s the downside of 6 arc.

There’s a zero chance for me to buy a howa.
