6 arc bolt gun powder selection

[tbam160]

Anyone give a recommendation for a good powder to use in 6 arc for hunting? Have leverevolution, reloder 15, H4895. Any other ones out there worth looking into?

Any powders good for a 6mm PPC or a 6.5 Grendel are both going to be good choices for it. I'm using Benchmark in my Grendel, 6mm PPC and 6 ARC

Old thread and off topic, but I’m not finding much info online about the 6mm ppc. @orelkaddict - do you hunt deer or elk with your ppc? I know it’s in the .243 class ballistically, but wondering if you have any real world experience with it hunting?

Roger that. There is Kimber model 84 on auction nearby and current bid is only like $250. I wasn't sure if it could be reasonably used for hunting or not. May be worth trying to snatch up an resell, but I don't want to sit on it forever either.

Most of them have a slow twist so a light bullet is it. You might check that before you buy it
