That might work, but I would be a little uncomfortable with doing it in an AR. I might just go buy another box of factory to get the brass. Thats what I did to get the ones I have, but they are...

Agreed, more buckle than not with the tools that I have.
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Yes sir! I had one 6.5 Grendel case mixed in with some used 7.62x39 cases I bought a while back and it converted quick and easy in one pull with my ARC sizer die. It has a different POI than the...

I will certainly take that into consideration if I can keep the shoulders from collapsing/bulging. I just grabbed the minimum trim length for the 6mm ARC to try to get around the bulging, but you are...

Probably so. That might keep the shoulders from bulging.

Load and shoot is the only way I know of. Burn more powder, primers and bullets which is why I haven't done much of this. But...I can't get ARC brass.

Well, I'm in Oklahoma a week before Memorial weekend and the weather is doing what it normally does here this time of year ... rain and storm.
So, I grabbed up some 7.62x39 cases, 6.5 Grendel...

Yeah, Grendel brass is as hard to find as ARC. I might try this as I am setting up a buddy's Grendel and have his RCBS dies. He wound up having to buy Lapua brass for his Grendel ... but it was...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Not really. I don't really want to add another step in here just to get something that will fit into my 6MM ARC but has all kinds of consistency differences that will shoot like crap at long ranges....

Thanks again! I do appreciate all of your effort!

Thanks! Sounds like the easiest way to go if I can find Grendel brass. It appears to be stored in the same boxes with the 6mm Arc right now though. The nowhere to be found box. Maybe Starline will...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Whoops! My bad. I thought you actually make the dies. Never the less, I bet you are a lot more skilled than I am. Ha! This probably will be interesting.
I appreciate the help!

I'm in contact with SOFMatchstaff (he makes 6PPC form dies) and with his suggestions (and possible forming dies) entertaining a 7.62x39 to 6PPC to 6mm ARC forming project.
It does appear that...

Well, it does appear that Hornady loaded ammo is slowly leaking out now. Gone_rabid got me looking again and I did find a box of 6mm Arc with $4.99 shipping. My small handful of brass is on the way. ...

I be a fur piece west of there ... Tahlequah, OK. There isn't much within 60 miles of here, but I'll check that one out too. Thanks!

I would still prefer to get a handful of Arc brass if anyone has some.

Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
Definitely a good suggestion my friend! But, l already have the Arc in a AR-15, just no brass. I bought it before I realized brass was going to be a problem or I might have done something else for...

Thanks for this input sir! I'm still peeling this onion to see how painful this might be!

I was afraid this might go further that I wanted to go.
I did read up on several internet articles since posting this and I really don't want to be buying forming dies or start annealing cases,...

I need 6mm Arc brass and have a couple hundred dollars of it backordered from December with no hope in sight. Something has to give.
I have a WTB in swapping and selling concerning 6mm ARC brass...

Hey Bruce, I have a lot of 7.62x39 brass. Been waiting since December for Arc brass with no end in sight. I really wasn't wanting to go into forming brass, but man ... this is bad and am now...

I'm looking for a quantity of 6mm Arc brass (actually any quantity) which appears to be hard to find.
I've dug around and it appears that 6.5 Grendel brass can be ran through the 6mm Arc die and...
