New Proof Research barrel D.O.P.E.

Finding drop data for my new Proof barrel chambered in 6mm ARC

[@RedDawnCA]

Awesome video brother. Hitting the same target over and over again is easy. Working the dials, doing all the math, holding over and then hitting is the real challenge.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Agreed, shooting the same distance over and over gets quite lame. Thanks for watching man.

[@justinjones9042]

Enjoyed the whole video . Great Shooting . I knew 6mm ARC proof research barrel and the right shooter would be one hell of a combo .

[@24886544]

A breath of fresh air to see excellent trigger control and follow through!! Great video fella!!

[@seanwhite304]

Love the 6ARC. My favorite lengths are 12.5 and 18" . 6ARC to me is a true do all be all AR15 cartridge.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

It is pretty impressive for the 15 platform. My son took his first deer with it and we bagged a couple coyotes too!

[@seanwhite304]

@@wyominghighdesertprecision That's awesome congrats . I will be using my 6ARC in 5 weeks for rifle season. I also used it last year buck but I was only able to go out 2 days and didnt see anything . This year I have 8 days off to tag couple deer .

[@MK12DUDE]

Amazing shots man, been running 77gr 5.56 but you got me thinking 6arc now. Great camera work too, I’ve enjoyed the animations

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

The 6arc is pretty sweet, definitely my favorite in the 15 platform. Thanks for the comments and as always thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

[@jonathanm1854]

I love my 18” mk12 with 77 smk but just ditched my Grendel for the arc. Resized my brass and bought a savage 110 tactical. 2769 fps with lever evolution and 105 bthp. Super impressive from a 18”. Putting together a 12 arc today also. Love the caliber

[@richiefutrell6247]

Awesome content, just ordered a new Proof Research 18in in 6mm Arc. Proof needs to give you an affiliate code or something because I'm sure not the only one you sold on this barrel.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Thanks for the comments man, I’ll reach out to Proof and see if we can come up with something. Your going to enjoy your new barrel, they can make some shooters for sure.

[@danielmottweiler]

Freaking outstanding!

[@greatdane3343]

Excellent video and excellent shooting mate. I'm in Australia and hanging out for the Howa Mini Action to be available here in 6mm ARC. I reckon it will make an excellent CTR and long range varmint/hunting rifle for our pest species. Thanks for sharing.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

I would like to have a bolt gun chambered in 6arc one day, would be a fun and capable rifle for sure. Thanks for watching man.

[@williamklaproth85]

Waiting on my Uintah upper to come in so I can put mine together, slick shooting 🤙🏻 also live in Wyoming too

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

You’ll have to let me know how it shoots! You going to load your own or run factory ammo?

@@williamklaproth85 Hows that Uintah working for you? Was thinking about picking one up, but doesnt seem compatible with any of the $1500 worth of good AR triggers i have lol

[@williamklaproth85]

@@SCQT I’m running a 2.5lb CMC trigger with no issues. They did send it with a drop in trigger, don’t remember the brand. I’ve put quite a few rounds out of it and with no break I held a 1/2” five shot group at 100 yards. I put an Eric Cortina tuner break on and it’s holding a sub MOA five shot at 100 yards. Have not shot it over 700 yards yet but honestly I am way more impressed with it then I ever thought I was going to be. It’s a little more on the heavy side, but that’s what I was going for.

[@rustynut1967]

Very nice and great video work. I'm just getting started with loads and so far the most accurate is 28,7 of lever with 108 ELD-M with a velocity of 2620fps .5 inch group. I need to get ahold of some 105s and try them. I have 22" CLE barrel made from a Criterion blank +1" gas system.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Thanks for watching, let me know how they shoot when you get some.

[@rustynut1967]

@@wyominghighdesertprecision Tracking says I should have them tomorrow. In the video you seated them at 2.254. Do you know how far off the lands you are? Thanks! BTW that is exactly my OAL with the 108s with .030" jump.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Measuring with a Hornady OAL gauge and a once fired modified case, I’m approx .003” into the lands, when subtracting .004” of shoulder bump. CBTO on my loads are 1.750”

[@rustynut1967]

@@wyominghighdesertprecision I just received the bullets and measured. With a resized case my CBTO 1.726 And an OAL of 2.226. Seems your freebore is about .025" longer than mine. I'll try starting at jam and increase .010 and see how they group. Thanks I really appreciate your info.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Keep me posted on your results. Hope it shoots good for you.

[@bcoorough]

Wow, nice shooting

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Thanks man!

[@billcarlson852]

Great job. Nice camera work...

[@Warmspringsrezbuck]

Can you do a video on load development? Components?

[@OlTrailDog]

Can't be WY. The wind isn't blowing ;-) . My build parts for a 6mm ARC gas gun will be here next week.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Those days are definitely few and far between. That will be a nice Christmas gift for ya when the parts show! What did you go with?

[@SCQT]

Nice relaxing shooting vid haha Maybe i missed it but what kind of velocity are you seeing? Im assuming you have settled on a load now Was kinda thinking Hornady 105s and Berger 105 Hybrids, maybe some 109LRHT if ever manage to find any in stock... What BC are you using for the H 105s? I find the 75s shoot just as well as SMKs in my Bartlein at 100, but the listed BC is definitely optimistic Tried any DTACs? Good shootin.

[@nateskate11]

Great video! ARC is a pretty cool cartridge. I am impressed. What length proof barrel are you shooting?

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

Thanks for watching, it’s 18” 1:7.5 twist with a rifle +1 gas system.

[@paunchouspilot6757]

@@wyominghighdesertprecision Did Proof need your bolt or did you just order it and spin it on? What bolt btw? Glad to see progress in the AR 15 accuracy chase. Also, what was the CBTO for your round? Thanks for your time.

[@johnd843]

Shooting the Grendel w/ 120g lapua scenar-l bullets and AR-Comp or TAC. I was able to get both powders to do the great job. I was a 243 Win shooter and have a lot of bullets. Thinking about going to the ARC and try a 16" CMMG barrel that has a rifle gas. Anyone has used this barrel. They word is that the ARC isn't sensitive to barrel length. Comments please

[@cryptohammer2400]

How do you like that trigger, what does the rifle weigh apx? Thanks enjoyed the vid

[@jacobrapp5904]

Nice rifle and good shooting. What length of Handguard are you using on it?

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

I’m running a AR stoner V2 15” hand guard, that’s mounted to a Stoner billet upper receiver. Thanks for watching!

[@jacobrapp5904]

@@wyominghighdesertprecision I’m looking into building a 6mm arc with the 18” ss barrel. Does that 15” handguard completely cover the gas block or is the just a little exposed at the end? I’m just trying to get build ideas and it’s a little hard for me to tell in the video.

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

@@jacobrapp5904 there is a little bit of the gas block exposed, but I’m running a Strike Industries adjustable gas block which is a little longer than a standard low pro gas block, which would be completely covered

[@JGoodZX6R]

So what was your velocity with the 105’s? I went 16” barrel and 108s are 2550 and 105s are 2625. Wondering if I shouldn’t go 18” for a consistent 1000 yard gun…

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

I’m running a moderate load, muzzle velocity right at 2600, that’s where my Standard Deviation numbers where best. That’s one of the biggest keys to consistently, low SD’s. Your 16” should be able to do it regardless of muzzle velocity as long as they are still supersonic at that distance. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.

[@JGoodZX6R]

@@wyominghighdesertprecision thanks for the info. I’m showing 108s at 2550 fps slowing to about 1170 fps at 1000 yards on a standard day, so I think it’ll be ok. 105s at 2550 fps as well are about 1220 fps. (Misspoke in my first comment…2625 fps was the 103’s).

[@modernrambo2]

Nice. I plan on doing a similar thing for a PRS build. What size of groups you getting?

[@wyominghighdesertprecision]

I’m still in the load development stage, but everything I’ve loaded for it has been between .3 to .75 I’d highly recommend a Proof barrel for your build. Thanks for watching!
