Those 95 gr SSTs, did your rounds end up with the cannelure well above the case mouth? Loaded mine to a COAL of 2.18" with CFE223 (per Hornady) and they look pretty goofy with the cannelure fully exposed and sitting halfway up the bullet. I guess those bullets were designed more for larger cartridges (e.g., 6.5 Creedmoor) where they would be seated deeper. My only complaint about 6 ARC is that Hornady really hasn't supported it well with brass and even ammo production. I fear it won't be around very long unless something changes, given that Hornady seems more interested in pouring their energy into the "next big thing" (e.g., 22 ARC, etc.). Innovation is great, but lackluster support kills new products faster than anything else.
@@blueeyeddevil1 Just bc of price im going with the 90 ELDX, i have never used them on game so it will be a 1st for me, but they grouped well and are way cheaper than the 80 and 90 CX bullets
