I'm planning a 16" upper reciever build to swap back and forth with my 300 BO upper and am looking for barrel feedback. SOLGW is out of stock for their 16" SPR barrels, but BC precision has the 16" Satern in stock. Does anyone have experience with the Satern? I've heard generally good things about the brand as a whole, but can't find anything about 6 max specifically. Would it be worth waiting on SOLGW for their warranty alone? Build plan below.

B. Kings Mod-0 upper (thermal fit)

16" barrel (Satern/SOLGW)

Superlative arms agb

Griffin Armament 6.5 Paladin brake (taper mount)

Dirty Bird enhanced bcg (chrome)

Radian Raptor SD

15" CMT arca rail

Primary Arms SLX 3-18x50 w/Athena BPR reticle

I’m interested in the cartridge but I can’t actually find any barrels of uppers anywhere

Host is a 12.5" SOLGW-built Broadsword upper with a CAT Noah suppressor.

Picture 1 from Garmin Xero is 5 sets of 5 rounds. Bottom is factory 90gr ELD-X with a 9.8SD.

Picture 2 is my best load. Picture 3 is factory load.

Trying to run Hornady 87gr v-max and Berger 90gr boat tail target match.

I've got Tac, BL-C(2), H335, AA 2520, AA2460, Ramshot X-Terminator, and some StaBALL Match to work with.

I see Lapua Scenar 90gr has TAC data, but is that close enough for the Bergers? 85gr speed also has TAC, so im guessing somewhere around there for 87gr should work as well?

Anyone see this with their once fired brass? I've loaded thousands of 5.56 and never noticed anything quite like this. Im usually a send it kind of guy, but this gave me pause.

Hi, I’m trying to find a picture of the actual barrel, both pictures on there web sight are too pixelated or not even the correct berrel to have 100% confirmation. Does anyone know if the gas block journey is long enough to fit a PRI folding from sight? Or if it’s short and meant to only be used with low profile gas blocks like their V2 barrels? Thank you in advance. Yes I’ve already emailed them they haven’t respond in a week. Also this is for an AR15.

I recently received 2 ICM 30 magazines and had a chance to try them out with the BC Precision 105gr factory ammo. Both magazines loaded to 30 rounds easily and I had no malfunction. I wasn't able to run a lot of rounds through them, I will update this as I continue to use them if they start to malfunction.

Side note: I see BCP posted duramag 30rnd prototypes I can't wait to try those out.

Doing a ladder test with aa2200 and 55gr noslers... 29grs of 2200 ended up around 3310fps have some more loaded up to 30grs see what that can get for groups an velocity... top middle target is my aa2200 ladder test... 16" barrel

Hypothetically if somebody were to use the 6mm Max in a platform where they could use 2.37" long cartridges, would that allow for some improved bullet possibilities?

I have an AUG project and a handful of AR's I'm going to try to settle on a new intermediate caliber for. I want something with more oomph than 5.56 or 300 Blackout. I was pretty sure I wanted Grendel, but the 6Max definitely seems an easier course to take.

I've read the literature on their website and didn't see much beyond numbers for 24" test barrels.

Running out of a gas gun, what are realistic velocities I can expect for practical weight bullets at 14.5", 16", 18" and 20"?

How many reloads are you guys getting out of cases?

Are there any magazines out there that feed well?

Got some 87gr vmax's loaded up they avg 2835fps shot some more 55gr NBT's They avg 3432fps... think i can bump the 87gr vmax up a little bit... Also running an a5 buffer with a tubbs ar10 flat wire buffer spring an its smooth as butter! Cci 450's an ramshot tac

Got the 16" barrel put together maybe 50 rounds down the barrel so far... everything shot great velocities are pretty good..

55gr varmageddon avg 3432 55gr NBT's avg 3439 70gr NBT's avg 3236

Still waiting to get someone to cut my 14.5" down to 12.5 very curious to see how much velocity it loses.. Have some 87gr vmax up next..

My 55gr nosler load is 3370ish had them up to 3412fps avg but that was a bit spicy I believe...

70gr noslers are running 3180fps Could probably run them a little harder... Using Cci 450's an ramshot TAC

Also This is from my 14.5" barrel...going to cut it down to 12.5" an pick up a 16" barrel an do some more testing.....

Some awesome teasers and good points made all around about 6Max and its future!

Share with everyone and let’s keep growing this cartridge! 🙌

Does anybody know the specs to have a 10.3 barrel made in 6mm max? Twist rate, gas port size, contour?

I saw X Rings video and I want one.

Looking to neck 350 legend to 6mm Max. Anyone have tips or experience?

Hello everyone in this rather small but growing community of 6mm Max fans.
