6 ARC ammunition

[mholifts]

What ammunition would you recommend for elk within 600 yards using a 20" barrel in 6 ARC?

Are you an 80lb, recoil shy pre-teen?
If so, then a bonded or copper ~110gr bullet and keep it under 300yds. If not, choose something more appropriate and respect the animals you're hunting.

Hornady 103 or the 108 match, both should have enough impact velocity out to around 500 at 2600 fps muzzle velocity depending on your elevation

6 ARC wouldn’t be my first choice, but the 108 ELDM should work well.

Thank you

For factory ammo, 108 ELDm seems the obvious choice.

Bonded or copper 110 gr 6mm you say?

I’m running factory 108 ELD-M in mine right now. 20” barrel on a howa mini action. Pushing them 2590 fps. Gets me to 600 yards and a hair over 1800 fps impact velocity. I don’t really push my ARC past 500 yards but they are a fun little cartridge. Probably work up some hand loads and see what I can come up with.

108 ELDM messes stuff up.

In a good way.

Wutttttt??? A bonded or copper bullet at ARC velocities would be my absolute last choice

80 g TTSX and keep the range under 300.

I prefer 200gr copper bullets out of my 6mm. It provides more wallop. Nocks down the toughest of field mice.

While not my first choice, I am getting 2950 out of a 16” barrel and 75g bullet. That would work for copper. I still think the 108 eldm would be my first choice.

Shot a cow this year at 215 with 103eldx. Worked great. One round was all I needed, she travelled about 10 yards before tipping over. Wouldn’t hesitate to shoot one out to 600 with that. Wouldn’t hesitate to use the 108eldm either. They are good bullets too. Not as splashy as the eldm.
