Hand load or factory load?

Factory. Needed brass and didn’t have time to reload so I bought a couple boxes.

Thanks. Mine probably wouldn't be too far off. I really like the little 6mmARC. Hoping for some whitetail with mine and some 106s (supposedly very similar to the 108s terminal performance)

Over 1900 fps at 604 yards with factory eldms? That's awesome! What's your muzzle velocity and the elevation where you shot the bull? I'm in the process of putting together a 6 arc myself. The damage at that speed/distance is impressive. Congrats on the bulls!

2nd Bull was my son using the same gun. We called this guy into 44 yards and my son shot him straight in the chest, he dropped instantly!! We put a mercy shot at the base of skull but he. Gallons of blood in the chest cavity again. Did not recover the bullet.View attachment 772873View attachment 772874

You said you didn't recover the bullet. Where did the bullet exit?

I built a 6mm Creedmoor on a Savage action, 27 Inch X-Caliber barrel in a 1:7.7 twist shooting a 90gr Nosler Accubond, 3400fps at the muzzle. It really does a number on our smaller deer here. Longest shot I have taken with it is 308 yards so far but it was a scapula hit and bang flop. I have really been impressed by the caliber.
