[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2930226, member: 74061"] 6ARC is easy to load for, not finicky at all. I easily found MOA accuracy with most of bullet and powder combinations I tried from the 75grain Hornady to 112gr Barnes. Standout performers in my AR were Bergers and Varget, Rem 7 1/2 primer, Starline brass, bullets Seated to magazine length 2.260. I skipped seating depth tuning and dialed in accuracy using an EC Tuner brake on a 24” sanders armory barrel. 2630fps w/ SD 9 and a .8 MOA 7-shot group. LeverEvo got more speed but groups opened up. 8208, Varmint, AR Comp, CFE223, and LeverEvo worked well too. I asked Berger to send me load data a couple years ago, I have attached you their Quick Load sheet. I’m shooting the ARC in both bolt guns and Gas, bought my 9yr old Grandson a savage axis that shoots bug hole 5shot groups with factory ELDMs. When I saw that, I bought my self a Switchback, it’s 1/2MOA shooter too. I would wish you good luck with load development but I know you won’t really need it…that little 6ARC just works! [/QUOTE]
