6 arc powders

[MCGHeel]

Have a Howa mini in 6arc and planning a barrel for my ARC CDG in 6 arc. Looks like staball match comes up in several of the reloading manuals and was wondering if anyone is using in 6 arc bolt guns and would share your experiences and recipes?

Go to Google, type in "hornady 6mm arc load data" and the very first hit will be a PDF with their full load data for bolt action bullet weights across the board.

I'm using staball match, and like it just fine. This is a kids' gun, set up for MPBR so absolute precision is not top priority for it. That said, 10 round groups under 1.5" have been pretty easy (also got that with Leverevolution). 2600ish with 108 ELDM in a 20" barrel mini is no drama.

I really like that it meters well. Thrown charges are plenty consistent enough, and that helps a ton vs something like Varget where I want to weigh and/or trickle each charge when the kids are making piles of spent brass.

Hodgdon reloading has Staball Match loads listed on the site.

Personally, I've been using Varget and Leverevolution. Lever can be a little finicky with temps, so I'd work up a load during the summer. Lever gives me better speeds and meters really well compared to Varget.

i dont reload and dont know a thing about it. but, my son in law is working up a load with 8208 thats doing what i ask him to do so far. im not sure how much powder hes using, but its hitting 2750 range in my 20 inch barrel without pushing it to hard. he hasnt worked up a accuracy load yet but so far its promising.
