TESTED: Sierra 6mm 105gr MatchKings (Exceptional Results)

This episode of Gun Talk Radio features Tom Gresham and John Snow, Shooting Editor of Outdoor Life, discussing the 6mm Creedmoor cartridge. They delve into its history and highlight its effectiveness as a competition cartridge, particularly for Precision Rifle Series (PRS) shooting. The conversation also touches on how the stress of competition can translate to improved performance in field applications. The description also provides information on how to tune into the live radio show and access Gun Talk's various media platforms.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the suitability of 7mm cartridges, specifically the 280 AI, for long-range shooting. While acknowledging its effectiveness as a hunting caliber, the discussion highlights recoil and the availability of high Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets as limiting factors for extreme distances. The conversation contrasts this with popular long-range cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor and emerging trends towards 6mm Creedmoor, emphasizing the importance of BC and case design for long-range performance.

This YouTube video focuses on shooting the 6mm ARC rifle at a distance of 600 yards. The title suggests a practical demonstration and evaluation of this specific cartridge and rifle configuration in a longer-range scenario. It's likely to cover aspects of accuracy, ballistics, and the performance of the 6mm ARC round at this extended range, potentially appealing to rifle enthusiasts and those interested in precision shooting.

This YouTube video showcases a 1800-foot shot using a 6mm Creedmoor rifle. The focus is on demonstrating long-range precision shooting capabilities with this specific caliber and rifle setup. While details on the specific rifle model are not provided in the description, the title clearly highlights the distance and caliber involved in the long-range engagement.

This video provides an in-depth review and testing of Hornady's new Aeromatch 105gr 6mm bullets. F-class competitor John from Ultimate Reloader details the bullet's aerodynamic design, availability in bulk packs (500 and 3000 count), and seamless integration into existing loads. He presents detailed measurements of length, weight, and diameter, highlighting their tight tolerances. The testing phase includes powder charge development with Varget, culminating in impressive group sizes, with one group measuring in the .13 MOA range. The review emphasizes the bullet's consistency and performance for competitive shooters seeking an edge.

This YouTube video features a Lantac 18-inch rifle chambered in 6mm ARC. The rifle is equipped with a Dead Air Lazarus suppressor. The video's core activity appears to be a distance estimation challenge on zone steel targets, implying shooting at various ranges. The title suggests a focus on the rifle's capabilities and the shooter's skill in gauging distances accurately.

This video details the comprehensive manufacturing process of brass rifle casings by Peterson Cartridge. It covers the transformation of raw brass cups through multiple drawing, annealing, washing, heading, trimming, and tapering stages. The process emphasizes precision, quality control through extensive automated and manual inspection, and specialized treatments like neck re-annealing and anti-tarnish coating to ensure match-grade performance.

This guide details essential brass preparation steps beyond basic decapping and sizing for improved reloading accuracy. It covers cleaning, primer pocket uniforming, neck chamfering and deburring, and neck brushing. The video emphasizes that even new brass can benefit from these processes to ensure consistent bullet seating and optimal performance. The presenter, F-class John from Ultimate Reloader, highlights chamfering and deburring as critical steps that should not be skipped, regardless of time constraints.

This video debunks the myth that solid copper bullets require extremely high velocities for effective hunting performance. Through ballistics gel testing and analysis of 7 PRC loads using Barnes TTSX and LRX bullets, Gavin Gear demonstrates excellent expansion and weight retention across a wide velocity range, including lower velocities equivalent to longer ranges. The testing highlights the versatility and effectiveness of modern monolithic copper projectiles for various hunting scenarios and legal requirements.

This video details extreme pressure testing of the 6mm ARC cartridge using both a bolt-action rifle and an AR-15 platform. The experiment pushes the limits of Alpha Munitions brass with 8208 XBR powder, achieving velocities exceeding factory specifications and even 6 Creedmoor. The testing culminates in destructive attempts using a fast-burning pistol powder in an AR-15, demonstrating the significant forces involved and the potential for catastrophic failure. The presenter, Gavin Gear, emphasizes that these tests are for research only and should not be replicated due to extreme danger.
