Who’s got a 6 arc?

[Point Creep]

What’s the specs, what are you shooting out of it, and is it all the rage?

I’m seeing the el-cheapo option is with the howa mini, but a finer custom rifle might be tweaked into a dream to shoot at any range.

This isn't a good sign.

Swapping the barrel outta my 6.5 Grendel. It’s an ar platform. Same every thing else. Using the seirra 100 grain pro hunters. It’s a good option for smaller animals.

Have owned one of the Howa minis in 6arc. Fun cartridge just not a fan of the rifle platform. Now with tikka coming out with 6creed that’s the route I’ll be going next

I built an ar in 6 arc. I haven’t shot it much yet.

I have the Howa Mini with the 20" heavy barrel. Mine shots the 70HH at 3250 with a full case of H335. Haven't shot anything with that load yet, but have with the 87AH at about 3000.

I also have a Howa mini. Shooting 95gr TMKs on top of benchmark. Fun to shoot and probably going to be my primary rifle for sub 200 yd deer hunting

I have a howa mini in 6mmARC 20" heavy barrel. It started as a barreled action and I added a cheap Boyds at one stock. I chose the heavy because it has 5/8x24 threads for my suppressors.

I shoot 106gr TAP bullets over CFE223 at around 2550fps. I had hoped for a bit more speed based on other's load data but my rifles chamber is possibly not completely concentric and hit pressure early. I also get the infamous Grendel belt after a couple sizings even if I keep the loads down. I bought a special die to help reduce the issue but overall I'm not excited about the rifle as much as I used to be.

I have shot 3 whitetail at around 200 yards. The 106 TAP bullet is a cup and core bullet with an internal interlock that did a fantastic job of killing and I would have no issues stretching shots out further on deer sized animals

The Howa barreled actions have nearly doubled in price since I bought mine only 3 years ago. I'd probably fondle a Ruger American to see if that option may be a better choice
