Yep. Big G also took orders from dealers then never delivered. Had I known Geissele would double the price by the time they got around to fulfillment I’d have told my dealer to keep the order lmao.
Was going to run into my local scheels and grab some, but just got some loaded 58gr vmax from Druid Hill Armory to try out first.Just a heads up for anyone waiting for it, Scheels shows the ELD-VT ammo in stock for 6ARC. I was going to order some but they require some stupid ID me bullshit that I didn’t feel like signing up for it. Hopefully other retailers will start getting it, but it looks like it has started shipping.

This was a smal sample size in quite a bit of wind 17-20mph mostly headwind. Sighted my Cmmg Resolute 16” 6ARC on the shoot and see target. Then I was getting my holdover (300 yards steel) right on my sig tango 1-6 Top 2 on the steel were my first shots on the 1st line of the bdc reticle. Then went too low on the second two shots. Finally center punched it. The 80 eld vt shoots pretty good in my rifle

Black Hills is coming out with a 90 grain solid copper with a Lehigh Defense bullet. Not setting any speed records, 2650 out of an 18” barrel. Still, if it is up to their precision standards it’ll be attractive, speed isn’t everything. They say it is flatter than their 103 grain -X offering out to 600 yards.

I am still waiting on the Geissele SD-E trigger and for my AAC SDN-6 to get back from Echo Machine for the HUB conversion, but other than that the 6 ARC is done.

Thanks Capri,
I’m honestly thinking about trying one. When adding up my parts I’m like 2300$ or more. I kinda like some of the ideas of what they implemented and like it when people try to push the bar. This is a potential thermal coyote rifle for me and I need it to be 100% so the idea of it not being as finicky is a strong selling point.Geissele is just trying to be KAC and thinks pricing their shit through the roof will get them there. If they got the contract I could see them getting those prices but I’m pretty sure that was Barrett. IMO even at their 25-30% off sale prices their stuff is over priced for what you get. Especially when Bill won’t even return your phone call
Yeah I’ve got some other rifles I could take the lower off of and try it out! I would consider sticking with the 1/8 but I really like the performance of the 1/7 I’ve been reading about. This build will probably be my last for a while and I’m wanting to get it right the first time.
Is your gas system sealed? What’s your gas port diameter?I finally found time this morning to get to the range and initially sight in the 6 ARC. I decided to start with the new Hornady VT 80 grain stuff since there's very little feedback on it at the moment. It's hard to say how it's grouping with this load since this was the initial sight-in trip where I was more or less worried about getting it on paper consistently. I did have two and three-round groups that were right at if not sub 1/2 moa. The two five-round groups I did shoot were in the 1.3-1.5 moa range but I know it's capable of better if you can keep a consistent shooting position without having to manually charge the gun each round. It was obviously hard to be consistent with the groupings due to the fact that the rifle had a FTE on every single round.
The barrel is a Proof Carbon 18", the gas system is a Rifle +1 and I am running a Carbine buffer, no adjustable gas block, JP bolt in a LMT SA bolt carrier, so I am not really sure where to go from here in regards to the gas system issue?! Thoughts?
I plan to run this rifle suppressed 100% of the time but I won't know how it functions with the can until it gets back from Echo Machine. I suspect it'll function better on ejection/extraction with the added back pressure of the can. That said, I do want the rifle to function properly both when suppressed and without the can so I need to get to the bottom of this FTE/short stroke issue. I plan to run the 108 ELD's once I burn through the VT's.
Your port probably isn’t big enough for 80s unsuppressed, but once you suppress, it will likely run like a raped ape.
I've used 107 SMK and Berger 105 hybrids in a 22" barrel. Both are plenty accurate (typically .6" and better groups @ 100). The SMK is my preferred pill because it's been easy to get and quite a bit cheaper than the 105. Velocity for the 107 is 2730 with Lever.
First caveat, I'm shooting 6mm Grendel, but I've been following ARC from the beginning and the data is identical.
