12" 6mm ARC barrel is a shooter
I have this barrel on a registered SBR for use with a suppressor so that overall length & weight is manageable when hunting hogs with a thermal clip on. I am getting under 1" groups at 100 yds with Hornady factory 108 gr ELD Match (2,334 fps average MV) and just a little over 1" with Hornady factory 103 gr ELD X (2,439 fps average MV). I routinely ring steel at my range from 300 to 600 yds with it, and am extremely pleased with the barrel.
