    6mm ARC American Ruger

    I got Greg at Custom Guns to build me one on a American Ruger action running a 1in7 hardys no.5 contour 22", timmy trigger, Boyds AT-one stock with a Nightforce 5.5x22-50 NXS on top. was lucky enough at the time to get factory hornady brass once thats gone have got lapua grendel to take it's place. brass life seems good at this stage batch of 200 cycled atleast 5x each expecting 15 plus. rifle was primarily built for wallabies fallow and the likes will do some prs with it down the track once i got some more time. One of the big factors in the build was the reloading price and shootability .
    I'm not by any means trying to push them hard running hornardy 105 hpbt at 2580fps using cheapest powder available W748 at 27gr a drop. defiantly can get more speed but more then happy with it's accuracy and killing power.
    So far in the field have taken down a number of Fellow deer, Goats, Wallabies, Arapawa sheep and Pigs. have one shot killed a fellow at 380 and a pig at 340
    so all in all the round itself is great fun too shoot highly recommend it. simple terms it's a 223 on steroids
    Grantn, Gkp and caberslash like this.
