    6mm fast twist projectile recommendations

    Nearing the end of my factory 6mm ARC ammo in 108 eldm and think about reloading
    Goes pretty good out to 500 yards which i expect to be it's limit.
    It's pretty good but I think the 88eldm is better out if the 22 creedmoor. Bigger holes and faster knock down etc. This may be fps related.
    The ARC definitely has its place for culling given that it is sooo quiet. Animals tend to mill about even after 3 or 4 of their mates are doing the death dance.
    My question is for the 6mm nerds; is there a better projectile suited to the 6mm Arc?

    Is the nosler 90g bt similar to the 7mm 120bt death pill?

    I'll kick some answers off, not exactly what you are looking for but a start.
    243 with 8"T barrel, Likes the 108eld-M's which you already know.
    I've been a bit disapointed with them on goats, great on deer.
    I could not get the 105 gr Berger hunters to group as well as I would like.
    However the Berger 87/88 gr eldm Hunters grouped well and were quite devistating on goats up to red hinds and spikers and a couple of Tahr.
    Have loaded the 58 gr Vmax from hornady but only on minium loads for goats.

    The 95gr Nosler bt is a fantastic pill in 6mm
