Been playing around with a 6 ARC for the past couple months. Started with a Ruger American with a 16 inch barrel and now have moved to a Howa Mini action with a 22 inch barrel.
Mostly shot ELD-X's with a few 90 gr AB here and there.
The short barrel Ruger was getting 2650 fps with the 103's
The Howa is right at 2800 fps.
Thinking about this as a black tail deer, cougar, etc cartridge.
Hunting loads: Bullet wise the ELD-X shoots well but thinking about a 100 gr Partition, a BT or Sierra Tipped Game King. Velocity would be right around 2800 fps.
Thoughts?
