Any 6 arc varget loads 103?

Looking for some 6 arc loads with varget for 103 gr projectiles. Thanks in advance

It's likely the slowest powder that will produce velocity in the ARC - so I would be looking at a 90+% fill as a start load and you will probably end up around 100% or even compressed ( I'm assuming a bolt gun here - I have no real time on gas guns). My gut tells me that H4985/N140 would be a better bet - but I'm sure others will disagree. In the Grendel, I found 8208 and Benchmark to be useful, and Power Pro Varmint exceptional. You could also look at CFE223.

Varget has been accurate for me with the 103 VTac bullets. The problem is (if you want to call it a problem) velocity is not in the range of LeverRevolution which is very close in the accuracy department. Trying to get more velocity is not going to happen as pressure would get me before I got more velocity so I stopped. My one 6mm ARC is an AR using very good parts in the build with the barrel being a Proof 20" and is always shot suppressed.

I used Hornady data and worked up to their maximum load of 27 grains. I did get more velocity than the manual lists but I found I needed a thick cupped primer. Ruag SR primers made accurate loads at 27 grains of Varget but were flatter than I like. 450's, Wolf SRM, and Rem 7 1/2's had rounded edges still so they are what I use. As I got similar accuracy, no normally considered pressure signs, very low sd's, and considerably higher velocities, I use LeverRevolution. I use LeverRevolution with my Grendel's so I have a lot of it.

Whether it matters or not, I get single digit sd's with every powder I have used with the 6mm ARC (Varget, 2520, and LeverRevolution). With one exception, the rifle will shoot my handloads under MOA. I have found it an easy cartridge to load for even though it is still a new one for me. I have been playing with the Grendel since 2009-2010 so I am very familiar with the case design (I have never played with the PPC though).

Hornady Load Data site and some of your newer reloading books should show some. The Hornady one does.
