I did decide to build a rifle in 22 arc.

One of the reasons is that I have almost 8 lbs of staball 6.5 powder and nothing to load with it.

So, I’m going to try it out and see how it does.
It will become my dedicated night gun.

A little praise for a company.

I have a Cat WB that I use on my .223 ARs. The silencer is designed for the .223 in ARs.
Well, since I am building the 22 ARC I wanted to check so see if the White Bread would be safe to use on the new rifle.
Emailed them to ask.

Got a response within 15 min that it would be fine.

So, on this build I'm going to be using 77-80 gr bullets.
The main reason for this is that I have (like i said in the other post) almost 8 lbs of StaBall 6.5 powder.

I have never gotten a load that was very accurate with it on my 6.5 cm. I haven't tried it on other 6.5 cms that I've built as I have 20+ lbs of H4350.

So, that pushed me over the edge in putting it together. I'm going to shoot for 2600-2700 fps out of a 16" barrel with 80 gr Sierra match kings.
That combo should be pretty stout on coyotes out as far as I want to shoot.

Painted my 22 arc on Friday

Can’t wait to shoot it but gotta get the stuff in to make the bullets first. Stuff should be in this week.
