6mm arc & the 112gr barnes matchburner

[coyotekilla]

So, I have a 243, 223, 22-250, 6.5 cm and wanted something for mid to long range paper and steel, with the occasional opportunity on whitetail, coyote, etc.

I choose the 6arc cause its efficient, low powder consumption, & high bc bullets.

Had a ruger g2 6.5 grendel, nice enough gun, but it fed poorly at the worst moments, and the high bc bullets are too much for 30grs of powder.

Ordered a howa mini, 20" heavy, 1:7.5, hti stock job today. Along with brass, dies, and 112 match burners. Dropping a 20 rail of itṛ

Any insight to potential loads, etc?

I’ve had good accuracy with Varget & 8620 XBR. You can get a little more speed with Leverrevolution. You’ll probably need to extrapolate data a little unless Barnes has data.

I don’t want to discourage you, but I have tried the 112 match burner in 4 Creedmoor’s and none of them shot to save their life

I was strongly advised getting some 108 burgers for 108EDM’s as a back up. I wish you the best of luck and I hope it shoots. We’d love to see the pictures.

What was your rate of twist? I specifically ordered this rifle with a 1:7.5. Took some work to locate 1. The bullet maker suggests a 1:8, but i wanted a little more twist.

2 were 1/8 2 were 1/7.5 so that may have been part of the problem
