"Ok Dan but ________________ is better." Great, what is that?  (<-- already has bolt gun sorted out) My brilliant plan includes sticking to Hornady Match 6ARC. I've done the reloading thing and decided to buy my time back lol. |

Admittedly I haven’t focused on handloading for it, but thus far, it hasn’t proven to be a better option for 22cal. For PRS, the 6arc is a great option unless you go large frame. Then 6GT, 6creed and 6.5creed look attractive. |

5.56 bolt faces, good barrels at decent prices, and reliable feeding from 350 Legend 20rd mags have me on the 6mm Max train. As a two-decade Grendel shooter and loader, I appreciate not having to troubleshoot mags or think about that 52k PSI chamber pressure limit. I started with a couple of factory loads and some BC Precision brass. Now I'm going to buy a pile of Starline brass and load the Hornady 103 ELD-Xs. |

Use the Cry Havoc QRB to mate 7" .300BO, 11.5" 5.56, and 14" 6mm Max to the same upper receiver/lower. Pay a bit more for the barrels to mate up but can use the same high end bolt & trigger on all 3 to KISS for the non-HSLD here. Well, that is what I am trying tell myself.

Call the tune and let's dance; but beware that the devil is the piper and the tab for that soiree will be hell to pay.
