I think 6mm ARC is a little gay, but I’m still gonna watch…
How's the type A accuracy?
Wade, 17-5.56 KAK. Done.
Coyotes will kill 200+lb deer in Maine. Typically in the winter. They do a lot of damage when we have freezing rain and the coyotes can run on top. Also they run them on the ice where the deer can’t stand or run. Like you say, they are opportunistic hunters.
When you open with "Is it worth it to build a 12 inch six Arc as far as performance goes" a reasonable person would expect you to spend the majority of the video talking about performance of a 6 ARC in a 12in barrel. Instead you spent 19min talking about everything but performance, and that makes for a frustrating video.
I love these Nerd videos! my favorite types.
My 556 is pushing a 75gr pill at 2850fps from an 18" barrel. Not too far off of real world 22 ARC velocities.
I really want to see the difference in FPS between a suppressed build vs unsuppressed.
I have a shot out 22250 could I just get a 22 creedmoor barrel for it and be good idk much about this stuff
So what about just taking your red dot home defense/truk gun and slap on a 20" upper 6 arc with the appropriate scope and mags when you want to reach out further?
almost looks like this Mic is mounted on a Pic Rail, lol...
Really? Funny that an "influencer" is having influence?
What about CBQ rig?
I’m so ready.
I would NEVER Spend my $$$$$ on ANYTHING until it has been TRIED....TESTED.... & PROVEN!!!!!
I agree that coyotes are opportunistic. Grew up on a 2,000 acre farm in the East US with 50-150 cattle (which I know is small compared to Texas). I only started hunting them this past year. I have never seen them attacked without some aggravating circumstance. For example, when I was 10 we had a calf get its head stuck in a fence, and they ate its ass end off while it was alive. We only found it after. However that’s the only time in the past 20 years that we have had one “attacked.” IMO, they are just waiting around until we lose one and push them into our two or three bone piles around the farm. If we move our cows from one pasture to another - almost guaranteed you will start hearing them at night in that area now. To be honest, no one in my local cattleman’s association are worried about Coyotes though. I generally don’t believe they are a problem. But I live in Tennessee and they are smaller and our cattle herds are much smaller. Now what is true for sure - other livestock are vulnerable - sheep, goats, ducks, etc. will get murdered even perfectly healthy in TN.
Also will add after listening to your whole podcast - our turkey and deer population is totally out of control so I really don’t think coyotes would need to risk that kind of confrontation with cows.
Spot on Wade! Your dang right where livestock is coyotes are not far away! A lot of folks think that its because of a chance to kill the livestock. Having cattle for years the coyotes love the afterbirth and new born poop. Where there is feed and hay bales comes mice, birds, snakes and other live snacks. Seen coyotes visit silage piles , they love them. I have to laugh sometimes when I run into a know it all predator hunter on the street that doesn't realize there a lot of Yes and No answers when it comes to this. Keep up the knowledge love it!
When are we gonna get a 2 hour podcast with Clay Reid? 😂
Trying to extrapolate all of your great knowledge into hunting 200 acre pastures in Virginia; and some tactics seem promising. I especially noted the tip to let them come on in; instead of taking them at longer distances. Thanks Wade!
I raise cattle and have watched a pack of 6 coyotes harass my 1100lbs steers at night with my thermal. Cattle are laying down and the coyotes ran up nipping at them until the cattle got up. It was as if they were probing for a lame or sick one. My neighbor had to shoot a calf that he found alive but had his back end eaten off by coyotes the night it was born.
6 arc is a joke
Why?
All Skipper. No Gilligan.
Fitz doing swift cover songs across the nation.
If I had one rifle only, it'd be my 12" Grendel. Adm billet receivers, adm rail, geissele ssa e, strike industries enhanced lpk, vortex strike eagle 1-8x lpvo, canted holosun 508t, cloud defensive rein 3. And my sig srd762qd would be on the end. 24 round mags. 123gr eld m hand loads shoot .6moa and I could kill any game within 500 yards
Grendel is better. More energy, better in shorter barrels, holds supersonic out to 1150yds, uses more common bullets, and has 10% larger diameter.
I know you have messed with a 12.5 6 arc, have you messed with a 12.5 22arc?
Got mine in a month. Still haven’t had time to try it. Finding muzzle devices has been a pain!!
Fitzy is definitely following the taylor swift tour..... miss the banter lol
Back in the 70s i had a buddy on the western slope of Colorado that used to sell poison to ranchers for coyote bait. More humane to end their lives with a bullet.With the reintroduction of wolves their starting to loose livestock to them in Colorado now. Their trying to pass a law now where you can't hunt bobcats or cougar. Need them to keep their prey in check. Lots of out of state influence there. Just some interesting info.
Yep, been watching all that. Big mistake, hopefully it’ll get corrected.
Great content as always. Wade looking “high speed” today.
😂 thanks for watching.
Great topic for podcast. Here in west Texas sheep n goat country with cattle mixed in. Diet mainly whitetail , axis, sheep and goats, lambs,kids,and fawns. Until summer grass hoppers hit then their main diet and protein, that they don’t have to travel far for a full belly. Grass hoppers fad out then mesquite beans and then tunas on cactus are main diet. After all that the meat cycle starts again. Coyotes eat a lot of cow pies fact you can kill the adult yotes and if their pups are 3-4 weeks old they’ll normally survive. Eating poop and bugs, they’ll end up stunted in size but they will survive.
Be sure hit that subscribe button! Let us know in the comments what your experiences have been with coyotes and livestock!
Great insight from the patron saint of 6mm ARC.
💯
6 max will end up being more reliable. Its also different mission than 6 arc. Its straight upgrade to 5.56. A 6 max appears to be a mean bastard even in a 12.5
What really grinds my gears is all the tacticool guys and gear heads buying these 6arc rifles just because it got a military contract and they aren’t actually going to shoot it because they can’t afford to after buying it, I’m trying to buy a hunting rifle and everything is out of fkn stock from all these retards who just want a clone of every military rifle ever thought of🤣 btw the second I heard of the noveske, guissle rifles I tried to buy both, both out of stock currently…
On your AR-15's, are your barrels custom chambered?
I have 1 that is considered a “custom chamber’
It’s definitely one of the best looking rifles
Wade sheering bolt lugs so we don't have to. For science.
I’ve yet to shear any, but definitely willing to for science.
A video on a detailed comparison likes and dislikes from your other 6 arc ARs. Differences in the parts and likes and dislikes and then performance
Like picking the cross over the fix. Bless your heart. ❤️
😂
Not a fan of the NX8s. Horrible eye box, terrible glass on the lowest magnification, and they're chunky. Other than that they're good lol
😂
shot my buddies 16” this weekend and was giving him shit that my arc shot better. didn’t realize it was chrome lined, changes everything this thing shoots!
Got my first ar and its an 6arc thanks to binging the podcast and this channel. I went with an full aero precision 18 in that has a prs lite stock for a hell of a deal at $675. Down the road I'd love to see you compare the Geissele to budget uppers like a CMMG thats only 500 on sale right now and/or Aeros to help the masses understand the value proposition. I'm coming from a pure hunting specific interest (western deer/antelope backpack), not needing a battle rifle, or prs rig , nor planning in dumping thousands of rounds at 1.50 to 2.00 each bc Im not Taylor Swift, so I would be interested in seeing what you would recommend for different use cases after testing a variety of offering. Ps cant wait for my dust cover and the last box of hornady black ally had to arrive tomorrow ha
💯 we have more now.
May look into that, curious to see how it holds up over time
Heavy AF
The real gunsmith will defer with you on hornady designing chambers with new cartridges. 😂😉
Any videos coming out for a factory 6 arc bolt gun?
Yes , I don’t know the time line yet.
Great breakdown video. I love when manufacturers are willing to try out some new ideas and fresh technology - the phased array gas system seems like an intriguing concept. Looking forward to hearing more of your experience with it!
Agreed .
Im shooting a 75 grain open tip norma bullet at 3050 fps and getting .26 inch Groups over and over. 18 in stainless oden works/areo precision build. Its awesome! the coyote's disagree. lol
Awesome vid Wade. This is a dream rifle for me. Later down the road... Probably a 16"... Savin' up Really enjoyed this content! Thanks a Milliradian!
Appreciate it.
S&W have a 6mm also
Have the 16” , have been pleased with it. We’ve actually covered it a few times, and I think we have a check in vid coming at some point.
