  • Join me as I put the first rounds through my 14.5" 6mm ARC upper! My goal with this upper is to have a package that's relatively small and effective for close range traditional "carbine" type work yet packs enough of a punch that I can make consistent hits out to 1000yds. In this video I provide an in depth overview of the components used for the build and then we hit the range shooting groups at 100yds before moving to steel at extended distances. Lets find out if 6ARC lives up to the hype!

      @seanoneil277 Před 11 měsíci +11

      Mostly they have that reputation because some barrels shoot like the one above, while others are completely unremarkable. Maybe it's an over-sampling of complainers, like BA has online. But I stay away from Faxon because of the inconsistency reputation. I have good luck with Odin Works for a wee bit more $$.

      As mentioned in the video I had no experience with faxon products prior to this video so had no clue what to expect. While I’m working with a sample size of I am extremely impressed with the performance out of both my barrel and the bcg…. Especially given the price. I was originally going to use a much higher priced barrel for this build but decided to scrap that plan when I saw how long their lead time was. The faxon was in stock so I pulled the trigger and now I’m a fan!

    I’m not sure why your channel isn’t huge. I remember Demolition Ranch throwing a quad hawk and firing a tank round. He is in the big boy league. But you, not only show excellent videos of practical shooting at long range and interim ranges your videos help us to learn new ideas around these platforms we enjoy so much.
    Keep it up my friend. I may be subscribed to some 400 channels but yours is the only one that I set for notification.
    I live in central Montana. My range off the porch is 716 yards. My range at the driveway entrance is 950. My rifles and pistols get worked out even more now when I see something on your channel and that happens often.

      6 ARC already wins at that. Its flatter due to the higher BC. 6.5 Grendel can't make use of high BC projos since its at the huge expense of taking any case capacity away.

    Was actually out in the garage, since it’s so dang hot, loading 6 ARC. My 95gr VLD’s are tops in my APF AR and the 107 smk’s take it in the bolt gun. Best way to describe it, they are the dasher’s little brother. I have been running 6 ARC for going on 2 years now. If it had come out during any other time period, it would be way more popular. The pandemic really hurt it’s initial release. It does seem to be picking up a little steam. Glad to see you using/testing it.

    ive bought an 18 and a 24" BA for ARC and shot exclusively the 108 ELDM Hornady match. Consistently shoots sub moa and groups nicely (best is .258 at 500 yards, average is about .6 moa), the max range I have is 500 yards but of the calibers I have this is the easiest to maintain groups at range and on target. Still watching this video, but will very much consider building a 14.5". The 6 ARC has bridged the gap of something bigger than 223 (it does everything .224 V should have done, and it obsoletes 6.5G, 6.8 spc and a few other small frame AR cartridges), but maintains small frame AR and brings more power and actually can shoot 1k or more.

    I took mine out to 1000 yards the first day I got it. I sighted it in at 100 yards then took it out to 1000. I missed my first four shots as my wind call was about .5 tenth off. Once I figured out the wind I connected 7 of my next 10 shots on a 18" plate. I hadn't shot out that far befor and it was a blast. I have an Atheris Rifle upper which shoots 3/4 inch MOA at 100 yards. I was using the 105 grain Hornady Black which travels 2690 fps out of my 20 inch barrel. 6 ARC is a great round and affordable to shoot. I have a walk around review on my channel and some other videos out at the range.

    @seeratlasdtyria4584 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Ok, I'm one of the dinosaurs on this channel, (I'm OOOLLLLLLDDDDD! :) but I'd like to make a few observations. My grandfather and father taught me to shoot substantially over half a century ago. One of my first 'serious long guns' was a bolt action 6mm Remington, I still have it, still shoot it.
    That being said, they both were of the opinion, that when undertaking ANY endeavor, its best to figure out first just what it is that you're trying to do.
    Imho, you American 'youngsters' (anyone born in/after the 60's) sees that question in a substantially different way than guys like me. Back in my day, America was DEEP into the COLDWAR (and a few 'hot' ones as well.) Accordingly we learned to shoot not only to hunt, punch paper and steel etc., but always with an underlying purpose: that of preparing ourselves for the very strong likelihood of someday going to war. Accordingly, the calibers/rounds that counted, were those that could effectively kill, plain and simple. Now flash forward to the "Call of Duty" and other first person shooter types of today, and the young human male fascination with weapons (which has been with our species since the get go) has evolved into a deep appreciation and desire to master real life military oriented weapons and variations thereof, most notably those based on the AR platform. Some want to simulate the 'up close and personal' actions and abilities of our Special Ops type service guys; some, the more ranged tactics of more traditional infantrymen; and some prefer to simulate the 'Reach out there and Touch someone' tactics of the modern long range, or extreme long range, 'one shot, one kill' type guys. I'm going to GUESS that those following THIS channel (myself included) largely represent that last group ;) Accordingly I'm curious about not just the range capability, but ALSO, the TERMINAL ballistics of the 6mm ARC, Grendel etc. especially compared to 5.6 (which by the way, I declined to deploy during MY time in active service) choosing instead to carry a 12 gauge, .45, and unpacking my 'long gun' for those 'special moments' when it was required. Terrain/cover etc. dictated your choices in the field- not to mention the unreliability and poor performance ,in my mind at least, of the early 16's of those days.
    Amazingly, I can still report that it appears that my 60 odd year old 6mm Remington can STILL out perform ALL of the current AR 15 capable rounds, as well as stand toe to toe with the larger Creedmore and other similar cartridges excepting only the capability to near instantly send large numbers of successive shots down range. However, for those of the '1 and done' crowd, that matters not so much ;) Instead what matters is that first (and hopefully only ) cold bore shot accuracy, and your chosen caliber's terminal ballistics downrange, not to mention the financial investment necessary to ensure a competent rig.
    Along that vein, I (and no doubt a ton of others) were pleased to see the fellow who recently turned up at Texas Plinker's 1000 yard invitational shoot with a WWII surplus Mosin Nagant bolt gun in 7.62 X 54 R, and then proceed to outshoot all but one of the other shooters, including the host :) ALL of them firing weapons costing quite literally many thousands of dollars each. Now I happen to have several similar Mosins for which , if I remember correctly, I paid some 50 to 75 dollars each.
    Again, every now and then , keep reminding yourself, just "what is it you're trying to do?"
    :)
    I wish you all well.

    I took my 20” 6MM ARC out coyote hunting this past Saturday and stopped by a buddies range to hit some steel at distance. While i was limited on ammo, i was able to check zero (suppressed) and make some POI shift adjustments, then engage steel at 380 and 580 first round impacts. I personally wouldn’t buy a rifle with less than 18” barrel. If i need shorter, I’ll build a pistol setup. But This thing still packs quite the wallop at those distances, significantly more than my 556/223. I was impressed. In fact, there was no distinguishable difference in the impact sound between 6mm arc and 6mm creedmore at 380 and 580 yards both shooting 103 ELDx. I LOVE this little cartridge and the punch it packs out of the versatile AR15 and can’t wait to harvest whitetail and coyotes with it in the future.

    In your case Faxon was a great way to go. I’ve got 4 Faxon barrels in different calibers and they all shoot amazingly well. They are my go to company for AR barrels and they always perform great, especially for the money.

    I have been super impressed and happy with my 6mm ARC build. My 18" 1-7.5 twist is working great at range (shooting sub MOA). I bagged my very first deer this season with the 6mm ARC and it dropped the 140 lbs doe in her tracks at ~125 yards with the Hornady Precision Hunter 103 gr ELD-X. My setup was a red dot sight before the hunt for home defense, I switched to my 3-9 X 40mm, I used my laser bore sighter in my 25' hallway then test fired it with one shot on a target at 50m, it hit about 1-2" high which was about where my scope was zeroed for 200m so I left it there. At the 125 yrds it was point of aim and the bullet passed between ribs on the entry side got both lungs and blew the heart into undiscernible chunks and broke 3 ribs on the way out. I'm in love!

    First time viewer here. Love the video. I run the 6 ARC in a bolt gun and I love the round. Varget is my go to powder. its a little slower but I have an average SD of 6fps from all my testing, plus the accuracy is unbeatable. I have also found Leverevolution is very accurate for a temp unstable powder. I use this powder to push the heavy 112gr Barnes bullets.

    My first 6 Arc barrel was the Faxon/Brownells 1:8 20" barrel. It was a performer. My most recent barrel is an 18" Spade Composites Stainless barrel. I took it to 700 yards with 103gr ELDX handloads a few weeks ago. 12/12 after we figured out the dope. We ran out of time to take it to 1000 but it is in the works. Great video.

    • @fattigla
      @fattigla Před 11 měsíci

      @MountainsMulletsMerica I'm happy to see that kind of performance from a 14.5 barrel. I know a lot of people like 18" and longer barrels, but I've come to see an AR15 as a fighting rifle. For my use, an AR needs to be compact and handy to use. I personally don't have a use for a 20" rifle in any of the common calibers. If I'm gonna go with a longer barrel, it's a bolt action rifle for me.

    I built my first 6 ARC a few months back With a 22” Rainier Arms Ultra match Mod2 1-7” twist rifle +2 gas .875 Superlative gas block and a SixFiveOutfitters 6.5g/6ARC Ultrabolt in a phosphate chrome lined carrier I already had and put a Larue MBT 2S trigger and an H2 JP Silent Captured buffer and the rifle is just super tight and solid all round and it shoots insanely well better than some of my bolt guns Average .5” or better 5 shot groups at 100 yards only got to take it out to 300yds so far but really wanting to take it out to 800+. And I just recently put together a shorter lighter upper with a 18” BA Premium Black SPR 1-7” barrel but I haven’t got to shoot it yet. Will be the first BA barrel I’ve tried too! I am loving the 6ARC though! And finally found some brass last night and ordered 150 pieces of Starline 6ARC brass seems like they just recently must have put out a batch if anyone is looking!
