- Because I have larger calibers and cartridges for Medium sized game at extended distance, I have tried to find a good fit for my usage. I think I found it. Now just need to settle on the best loads.

Hey Dave, I just watched your latest 6ARC video. I myself have been working on my varmint load. At this point I'm where I want to be. But I've built my load with the new Hornady, 80gr ELD VT. Gas gun, 22in 1-8 custom barrel, 30.7 gr8 of Leverevolution, or 29.9 gr of Varget,,, 3000fps avg., 200 zero. 2.255coal, for my barrel lands. This 80 VT was built for these new style calibers from what I was told talking with Hornady tech. Coyote is my main purpose for this gun. The VMax is a shorter bullet and sets different because of its o give, on the bullet. This new bullet is definitely worth trying. Thanks for all the work you do, its helped me a lot
I have a 6x45 mm and a 243 Win rifle that just absolutely love the 75 gr V-Max. I'm not shooting past 200 yds, so no big deal. I'll look a little deeper at the 6mm ARC, but just might stick with the 6x45 mm. Good luck and stay safe!!! 😉😉😉
I have become a fan of the 6mmARC; it’s just such an efficient, accurate cartridge, at least in my experience. I’ve settled on a 90 gr. ELD-X bullet with 30.5 gr. of LeverEvolution powder as my go-to load, but I plan on finding a good load for a 100 gr. bullet as well. As of yet, my ARC has only been used on paper and steel out to 400 yards, but I hope to eventually use it for coyote hunting and possibly for pronghorn.
Good morning Dave from South Dakota. I watch your videos for positive research. As always Great groups and keep them in the Bullseye 🎯
Dave. Another good video. Great groups. Thanks for sharing and take care.
I’m happy to continually see new developments in ammunition… I have learned the hard way over the years to not knock it till you try it!
I agree with the 6 ARC and using the lighter bullets, especially inside of 600 yards and lighter wind. Mine is a tack driver with the 90gr Bergers, 1.5" and better at 300 yards. Easy on the brass too. 👍
That last group shot really well. Thanks for the video.
Afternoon Dave!!!
With the old rule that you should have at lease 1,000 fpe to take a deer, it is amazing your charts have both 75 and 80 grain loads just under that mark at 300 yards. Definitely makes for a good varmint rifle. Even if you don't get footage this week, would love to hear how you did and maybe see some still photos.
In my opinion, which is worth exactly what you're paying for it, Hornady overplayed the horsepower on this cartridge. Optimally this cartridge is a 95 grain and under pill slinger. Don't get me wrong I really like the cartridge. I have a couple rifles in it. My favorite slug for this is the berger 95 grain vld. I think it's a great compromise between weight and velocity.
Im about to test 6mm arc with 65 and 75gr vmax. Ive got staball match, xterm, and Benchmark i'm going to try for coyotes.
at 3000 fps that would take a Wisconsin white tail... we are talking less than 100 yards for most of the deer harvesting in Wisconsin...
Thank you
Thanks for this video, I've been thinking about building or buying an upper in this caliber.
I really like the 87 vmax, .4 g1 bc and capable of 2900 fps out of an 18 inch gas gun. I would imagine a 90 eldx would be incredibly capable loaded to the same.
Nice shooting Dave. I like the Arc
I've tried to talk myself into 6mm ARC half a dozen times. I've already got 6.5 grendel and 224 Valkyrie... and.243 bolt action. It just doesn't seem to give me anything I don't have covered. It's like a solution to a problem I don't have.
Also and you may have andvi have forgotten but the 90gr eldx bullet, have you tried it?? be happy to send you some!!
APRIL 22!!! So your chuck hunt is over. Did you post that footage already? 🤔🤷♂️🤠
