.22 ARC / .22 Advanced Rifle Cartridge (Handloader issue #351) (Handloader TV)
Warning! A custom rifle built on a Pacific Tool & Gauge Drakkar action with a 20-inch Proof Research barrel with a Leupold Mark 4, 4.5-18x 52mm scope mounted in Leupold Mark 4 rings was used to test all loads. The temperature was 79 degrees Fahrenheit while the wind was 5 mph. The humidity was 17 percent, the altitude was 5,000 feet and pressure was 30.19 in HG as measured by a Kestrel 5700. Velocities are the average of five rounds chronographed using a Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph. Resized Lapua 6.5 Grendel cases and Federal 205M primers were used throughout. All loads were assembled using Hornady and Mighty Armory dies in an Area 419 ZERO Reloading Press. All powder was weighed and dispensed on an RCBS MatchMaster and charge weights were accurate to .04 grains. Source: Handloader August/September 2024 issue #351.
