I’m trying to dig more info on possibly switching up to 6mm arc for a competition bolt gun. I’m currently set up with a 6 creedmoor on a Curtis vector switch barrel in a foundation stock. I have zero issues running this caliber just thinking ahead.
I’m about half way through this barrels life with about 850 rounds and thinking of going to a dasher or maybe even the 6 arc for my next barrel. My thought process stems from the current trend of shooting a “slower” 6mm for easier follow up/seeing trace/splash for correction.
Something from the 6BR family is an obvious possibility but I’m interested in the 6 arc too. I know it would require a new bolt and dedicated mags or a mag kit.
Certainly not as popular as the GT or the 6BR family crowd but I’m sure there are some people out there running them with success. What are the Pros/cons in your experience?
Brass seems like a weak point in my uneducated view. I actually like to reload so that’s the plan regardless of caliber. So choices seem like having to buy Hornady 6 arc ammo to reuse the brass or resize quality 6.5 Grendel brass. Not sure what issues arise from the latter.
Any insight into this would be appreciated. Thanks.
