6mm ARC 108 ELDM review.

[Brandon_SPC]

6mm ARC went to work the last two day.
Bullet used 108 ELDMs.
-Buck was a frontal shot at 240 yards. He was DRT the moment the bullet hit him. Impact velocity 2169 fps
-First doe was a broadside with a slight 1/4 away shot at 63 yards. She ran 30 or so yards. Left a good blood trail. Impact velocity 2433 fps
-Second doe was a broadside, slight 1/4 too, bullet entered behind the shoulder, went out the liver area, shot at 200 yards. Impact velocity was 2228 fps. Deer stumble 15 or so yards.
All broadside shots exited

The only terminal performance pictures I got were form the first doe. She was 105lbs.
-First Double Picture shows where the bullet hit and exited
-Second Double picture is the lungs. They were absolutely wrecked.
-Third Double picture is inside the cavity.

Sure love that little cartridge!

Congratulations on a great weekend! Looks like you made it count!

Running a gasser or a bolt gun?

Ruger American in a CF stock or something else? Looks like it worked as advertised!

Thank you and I'm starting to love this too. It was nice watching the deer through the scope as the bullet impacted but It's a bolt gun.

It's a Howa Mini with a prefit barrel in a CF stock

Great work my man

Thank you sir.

Great work! The 6 ARC has become one of my favorite rounds this year--I really like your setup. Is it an SBR or is that an OTB suppressor? That barrel looks crazy short.

It's a 16.5" barrel with a OTB suppressor. The can is a UM OGL. The Rockslide cult got to me but overall a good can on this rifle. I haven't shot it on any bigger cartridges so I can't give you any input there.

What MV are you getting with factory 108’s? I have a 17” barrel coming, so looking forward to getting a 6 arc into action… just worried it might quickly become the chosen one haha and it’s not a tikka haha tikka needs to make a more affordable bolt; or heck just produce a factory option, yet everyone is still waiting on the factory 6cm from them…

I can't speak for @Brandon_SPC but my factory 108s are coming out just over 2500fps with a 16" Proof barrel and titanium can.
