Thread: 6mm ARC (and it's cousins) load data

So some Leverevolution turned up - Thanks @Cruza . I fired a couple of rounds at home here to get a handle on how it would go - I just shoot into the ground at point blank and chrony them. 30.0 gns with the 103s in. Starline brass gave me 2611. So I worked up a ladder with 103s and Fed 205s with the LR from 30.3 to 32.7 (which was possibly going to be too hot to shoot!)

Got to the range and shot the 8208 load I've settled on 28.1 behind 103s) and it gave me an average of 2746 for 5 shots into a group of 10mm. Pretty stoked, that's supersonic to 1000M and for game is still above 1800 fps at 500M which is a good bit further than I ever shoot at game.

But I did shoot the LR ladder. It went up to what I think is a node at 2900 fps - astonishing for such a wee package. At 2900 the brass was happy as were primers, although it was quite cool here today and the top load might get "ugly" on a hot day! 2900 would push the 1800 fps limit to 600M!
