6 Grendel vs 6mm ARC reloading data

[omega1]

Hello all. I've been shooting a 6 Grendel, aka .243 LBC, 6 AR, etc., for a few years and I'm very impressed but reloading information is pretty scarce. There is a ton of information for the new 6mm ARC but I don't want to assume too much about swapping reloading recipes. I know the cartridges are very similar but.... Hoping to get some first hand anecdotal information from someone with experience.

For fhe LBC you can grab max ARC powder charges and use that as your starting loads. I have five LBCs in ARs and shoot a Savage bolt gun in 500 yard F-Class quite well with it. I also shoot other Grendel variants in various chamberings.

Thank you GLShooter. That was what I suspected but wanted to see who had experience.

Anyone else with experience?

6mm ARC.
My Savage Axis.
87 gr Vmax with 27.0 gr of Benchmark shoots very small groups at 100 yards.
Puts a smile on my face.

Thank you David2. I have some 87gr. Vmax and some Benchmark. Now back to the reloading bench!

I have been shooting the 6 Grendel for a few years. Very happy with it.

I finally settled on H4895, Varget and Benchmark were too fast.

This is 600 yards from a suppressed gas gun and a S&B 4-16.

Hoser!!! Is there a caliber you don't own? John B took a Brux barrel I had, cut it to 22", chambered it and did the rest of his magic to it and it is the most accurate semi auto rifle I have ever shot! Feel free to share any load data you want. Ben P
