Thank You Sir! This was great! It shows how fast one needs to move, set, shoot! 👍🇺🇲

Now... You have got my " wanna wrench " button engaged to check out this 6 Max in the new shop on the CMM, and other tests... to prove it and use it! Your synopsis alone is priceless... and cuts my time down exponentially! Thank you once again. Respectfully, Seth

Man what a great time to be a gun nut!! Sweet setups! Thanks for bringing us along!

Loving these 6mm builds. Tho i still love 6.5 Grendel.

This seems like a great option for competition shooting, I can totally see the advantages it has over other calibers.

Great info as always Ray.

"True DMR" sounds excellent. Thanks Ray & Mike.

Great video & shooting,as well as info on the evolution of these rounds & rifles.

Excited to compete again, the Hellion has been serving me well!

Looks impressive Ray, thanks for sharing!

Dang! I have audio on my end. Let me know if something is up with it .

boosting the algo! really hoping this takes off. i feel like Hornady was lazy with 6ARC, and that 6MAX is a far better solution to getting as much energy and reliability as possible out of the AR-15 platform

Ugh! Ray, I just finished getting set up in 6 ARC🙂. Great video!

Hi Ray thanks for the information and comparison of the calibers.

great video - I sold all my 223 dies and brass when I saw what the 6ARC can do. I run a poverty pony with 20" CMMG barrel and a fixed Valdada 16x. I don't dial just hold from 100 to 1000. 105VLDs and Leverloution. I won't waste a SRP on any other round.

Dude you are the best !

That was great stuff ! Of course I guess I need a 6 Max now ?

Very impressive

Awesome video bro.. I've been waiting on 6MAX video for damn near a year now lol . Its awesome it was you to finally break the ice.. I've been running 16" 6ARC since 2020 . I really dont plan on switching but it's nice to see companies pushing the limits since 6MAX is using beefy 556 bolt.. I guess the aged ole question is which is better.. Slower Velocity but higher BCs or Faster Velocity with Lower BCs . I know with my 6ARC using g 106g TAP in getting roughly 2540 FPS with 0.580 G1 BC . I have 0 clue what 6MAX G1 BC is but I'd like to think it's under 0.490 G1 . Could be totally wrong . Now I see Hornady has 22ARC . It's a great time to be a shooter these days . I geek out on all that shit from TDP Carbines to latest and greatest whiz bang 3000 Cartridges.. Me and a buddy have been talking with dudes at Peacemaker National Training Center in Eastern Panhandle of WV ( Which is my home Range ) about doing more PRS Gas Gun Type Matches . They did 2 of them last year . For 2024 we are gonna try to get them to do 3 or 4 . We even offered to help them setup on the Frontier Range which goes out to 600Y . Last year I shot my 556n and wish I would of brought my 6ARC but oh well it was my first PRS Gas Gun Match . I definitely struggled but i did better than i thought i was going to do . Hopefully all is well bro and hope you had Happy Thanksgiving and have Merry Christmas

Looks like a sweet option for small frame AR.

Im a 6arc guy. Anderson upper/lower. Proof ss 16", cmc trigger with strike hanguard & furniture, but the 6max seems to be the logical setup from the bolt perspective.

Awesome cartridge!

Thank you.

Informative video as always, but I think you guys talked me out of showing up with my 3-gun rifle 😅

Hey I was there Thursday love Clinton House.

Great video guys here’s my take on civilian developmental of weapons. It is what makes our military what it is today… or maybe I’m completely wrong which is a possibility.

I love the DMR match over 3 gun that 3rd gun just adds a bunch of extra variables when most of us care more about pistol and rifle. I have a different built for this vs 3gun it’s longer and heavier but I’m still using .223 I was going to do a 6arc upper but may do 6max now

I love the 6 arc. I’m building a 6 arc bolt gun and getting a 6 arc upper. Excited to put it head to head with my Mk 12 and my AI in 6.5 creed.

It seems like much attention is being given to the cartridge and the rifle weight with little or none paid to the tuning of the gas system as effects recoil and speed. This could be different, but i always think of SOLGW being focused on battlefield type reliability, so i wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit overgassed🤷‍♂️

Great video good sir! Were you shooting 90gr ELD 6mm Max at 1000 yards?

Great info! On average how many rounds do you need for a DMR match at the Clinton House?

Sound works for me.

Just finding out about the 6mm MAX round. This one has it all.

Thoughts on standard collapsible stock like the Sopmod or similar Magpul versus something like the Magpul PRS, UBR or B5 Precision for these 18" 6mm gassers?

Very cool cartridge. What is the max weight & OAL for bullets? Are 110 grain pills out of the question?

Awesome

what barrel are you using for the 6 max... will a 6 ARC barrel work with the 6 MAX

Awesome SPR or mk12 style cartridge

I was really hoping it still used 5.56 mags. What is the magazine capacity for same size as a 5.56 30rd?

Do you think 6 arc would be a good round for a competition like vortex mammoth?

👍🏻👍🏻

What bullet weight was you using in the ARC? Wouldn't the ARC shoot just as soft with a 90gr bullet or better yet with the new Hornady 80gr ELD-VT?

How does the 22 arc stack up against the 6 max

I hope 6max picks up.

whats barrel life going to be like?

Been trying to get a 6mm max barrel but no luck yet!!!!

I almost wish I didn’t watch this video!! You keep feeding my addiction 😂 What mag was you using for the 6arc

It's a great idea and definitely makes more sense then 6 arc because it's just a standard 5.56 bolt but the same thing is going to happen to it just like what happened to 6 arc you won't be able to get brass and if so it will be priced through the roof

Two things I’d be interested in seeing. Why not add weights to the shorty build and compare against the longer builds for time. Next, load the same bullets in both 6 ARC & 6 MAX ( 90 grains and 103 grains) compare ballistics side by side.

Hey Ray, How do you like that marsupial gear bino harness and (what looks like) rangefinder pouch?

Hi ray. No Arca on any of the setups? For shorter rails do you like the fixed bipod position?

Maybe LWRC will get behind this and offer it in their 6.8spc rifle

Hope to see you in December at the CH! I'm on Squad #1. Great work! What trigger do you run on your gas-guns? Thanks for the barrel length info on the 6mm Max too!

6 Max looks flat ! I love it ❤

I love my arc

Cool commercial dude bros

Nice information about about rifles I would like to ask about the last video you Didi 3 months ago about Liwa straight pull rifles my question is do they make any calibres in. 375 458 and 416 mostly for big game hunting thanks

6 max is a cool new cartridge

Maybe I missed it but what range are you guys at and what is the DMR series you are referring too?

What is the barrel length on the 6 max you were using?

Man you aren't making this decision easy! Guess I'm just going to wait a little to see is the Max get's as much traction as the Arc has gotten.

Not going to get rid of my 6 ARC for this round but it is nice being able to pick up parts that are currently out there and know that they'll work. Gave up trying to find a mag that would work for the 6 ARC so just waiting for someone to come out with a mag for it. Could be the difference in bullet weights but it sounded like the 6 ARC hit the steel harder. Oh and Gorilla ammo is coming out with 6 ARC ammo soon so excited to try out what they have to offer, no more relying Hornady for factory ammo. I do wonder how the 6 MAX handles being suppressed. My 6 ARC is gassy with a Surefire SPS 300. Not the correct can for that round but it's what I've got. Did make a change to the rifle but haven't taken it out since.

Another great video Ray even if Willis is in it, lol!

Can you tell us some more about those USO scopes? Reaaly debating one of those fdn17x. Thanks for the video

You never compared mag capacity between the two. Is the 6 Max capable of holding more rounds in the same size mag? I do understand that the mags are for different calibers but which round would be better for a load out? I.E. # of rounds & weight. The main reason the army switched from the 308. to the 5.56 was you could carry more rounds due to mag capacity and weight of the ammo. If you were picking the next caliber for the U.S Military which would you recommend? I myself am looking to build another firearm and am very interested. I know I would not go wrong with either but would rather the better off the two. Great video by the way! 👊

I love Mike and the boys, and I believe this is a viable cartridge that I wouldn’t mind building something around. Saying all that my ARC’s aren’t going anywhere either. I’ve had great success shooting ARC especially hunting. Can you ARC be tuned anymore? Living here in the SouthEast (GA) I’ve restricted my port tremendously and use A5 on my ARC’s. Good vid from the video it does appear the 2 rounds are neck and neck honestly.

Now everyone is looking at the 6BR-A, but I saw a video (can't remember who it was) that was shooting a 20 cal BR-A. If it's as good as He thought and it fits in an AR15? To many wildcat cartridges, they come and go fast. That's why if I bought a rifle it would have to be SAMMI spec. and have factory support. It's interesting watching you guys talk about this stuff but........... See you haven't been uploading weekly videos I hope you're doing well Ray!

I’m curious how the 22 ARC will be received. Also, 6 ARC seems a little more velocity. 108 eld-m’s are ~2750fps out of a 18” bbl. Edit: ~2600fps out of 18”.

Where can I find more info on these DMR matches? Looking to get into competition and don’t know what series/promotion/ranges do these matches

Who makes the suppressor cover you have on towards the end of your video?

What upper receiver is that matched with the m89 handguard? I've never seen a lockup like that 😳

Okay here’s the real question… if you were building the ultimate DMR rifle from the ground up knowing what you know now, would you build it in 6ARC or 6MAX?

I thought I seen a graph of different barrel lengths with velocities an it had higher velocity than the 6arc

3:35 Doesn't the longer case mean you can't load ELD bullets into the MAX like you can for the ARC? Being able to load long, heavy bullets into a 2.26 OAL is the main draw of the 6 ARC cartridge

6gt for everything short of a mile. Just my opinion. Still need to setup a gt ar15 though

❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

We're both the 6 arc and 6 max 22" barrels I take it?

He didn't get to adjust the cheek riser for the 6arc so why give him a do over with the 6MAX? You put a PRS Lite stock on one but like a b5 on the other. Just wondering, what is your relationship with SOLGW and the guy that made the 6MAX?

I like Kenny’s newest round myself

I’m really interested in the advantages of 6mm max over the 6mm arc, I just hope the market gets behind it.

22DPC baby....

im not a competitor shooter so the ARC would be a better do all for me

I still have coupon for us optics from.last years pro am 😂

Well if POF made a bolt like the one they have on the revolution in 6mm ARC then the bolt issues coul go away

Damn…..just got on 6 arc lol.

I have issues with balance of the gun. I have a 6ARC, and it is weighted to only have a future as a fence post. Furthermore, I like guns that have a CG near the trigger and are easy to point at a target. Weight over 18 pounds is best for accuracy, and it keeps the morons from stealing your gun! The biggest issue are the health changes after passing 55. If you don't know about trimers and muscle mass loss, you will have a rough time in your 50's.

With a 88 grain Berger you can get well over 2,900 fps and less recoil so I am not sure there is much to be gained with the 6max when I already have a Proof barreled 6 ARC

No audio?

Remember.. EVERYONES build should be tailored to them and what they want for that rifle. a 20lb 5.56 is ridiculously dumb for anything except, exactly what that guy is doing... PRS matches, he has a tiny window that he has to hold it and use it for so the 20lbs might not be bad..... for a PRS build. Dont listen to him and build the same thing for hunting etc... build it for your own needs.

6 max will be a dead cartridge in two years, I will keep my 6 arc

I will stick with the 6mm ARC . Its shoots really accurate and its much much cheaper to shoot.,The cost of ammo on the 6 MAX is a BIG NO. I dont think that the 6 MAX will take like 6ARC , the 6.5 PRC or the 7PRC Did.

Another gun game where unless you’re willing to spend 4k, you’ll never win. Still fun, but damn.

Are you headed out to Logan new mexico this year!

WHAT i know is, it is JUST ANOTHER caliber i do nOT need to stockpile so i will paSS

I just don’t think it will take off. Owning both Grendel’s and ARC’s they almost everything this will do. As for recoil 99% of people running around shooting competition they run a brake or suppressed

yall excited for 22arc?

Ray, IMO. For the 6 MAX to gain traction, it needs SAAMI acceptance. That will allow factory ammo production. I shoot the 350 Legend in a home built LaRue AR with a 18" Mos-Tec 5R stainless barrel. It's my gas gun deer slayer. I want to build a 6 ARC gas gun. Today, Mos-Tec builds longer length barrels than what he did in 2019, when my 350 Legend barrel was made. I don't reload anything these days. SOLGW needs to start offering longer barrels for the 6 MAX than their 20" max length offering. I'd go to the 6 MAX with a 22 or 24" barrel, and Hornady manufactured 6 MAX ammunition. SAAMI 6 MAX is what's needed for me to come on board. I filled 20 different freezers with deer since 2019-23 with my 350 legend AR. Michigan is a straight wall caliber for deer in it's "limited firearm" zone. The 6 ARC or 6 MAX will be for other use.

No sound

Fixing something that ain’t broke. Enough with the super magic rounds.

Hey I know that guy
