Hm, that's interesting; last I heard they were looking for a 6.8mm replacement. But it sounds like they're going to adopt this 6mm ARC; according to gunsandammo.com

I heard the 25-06 designer decided on the diameter due to the bullets terminal performance over it's ballistic capabilities.

What do you think of their .338 norma magnum replacement for the 7.62 nato?

I checked the specs on the arc and it looks like its a .243 bullet. In ballistic flex tip form with a wider case. Similar to a .357 how its necked down.

A .338 anything I think is a little overboard for an automatic m4 platform but would be sufficient replacement for the m40b or whatever that long range designation is.



I dunno. I think longer range doesnt necessarily mean better.

Take the .300 blackout for instance. Its a .30cal in a 55.56 case with the neck cut off. I think that is the most innovative round to hit the market in years . I think that round should be explored as a replacement for an automatic combat rifle.

.300 Norma for anti-personnel

.338 Norma for anti-material

Both are in the Barrett MRAD.

I agree with the .300 Norma completely.

But they think the .338 Norma will replace the .50 BMG, and I strongly disagree.



They better hang onto the Barrett .50 cals. and their Raufoss rounds. There is no replacing those with any .338 caliber.

Does this have anything over the 6.5 Grendel?

I know with a 6.5 Grendel you can get ~1800 FPE from an 18" BBL. That's a lot of energy for an AR-15 platform.

25 round magazine.

Supersonic past 1,000 yards.

.510 G1

So I guess the round you're talking about might push it an extra 100 yards supersonic, but I always kind of thought if you're seriously concerned with 1,000+ yard performance you should ditch intermediates altogether.

But that just might be the 6.5 Grendel nerd in me talking; and to be honest I haven't looked into the round you're talking about extensively. Any advantage over the 6.5G that you know of?

.50 cal is only good for light armoured vehicles I think. And a .338 would be better as an anti personel long range round due to its flatter trajectory.

So a complete upper change with a 20+" barrel.

Know anyone offering a complete upper?

My personal thoughts & posts are mine alone.
I Love God, Jesus, good people, and the U.S.A. the way the Framers signed the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
In my real world life I don't have a problem with standing up to those with solid evidence of corruption from either side, of any issue or place. Many are they in this world that need to be rooted out.
That makes me a target to be destroyed by very powerful people, I understand this.
At some point we have to stand up for what is right before God. I have done this, lived this way, and will continue to do so till they finish me off or I croak of natural causes.

Does this have anything over the 6.5 Grendel?

I know with a 6.5 Grendel you can get ~1800 FPE from an 18" BBL. That's a lot of energy for an AR-15 platform.

25 round magazine.

Supersonic past 1,000 yards.

.510 G1

So I guess the round you're talking about might push it an extra 100 yards supersonic, but I always kind of thought if you're seriously concerned with 1,000+ yard performance you should ditch intermediates altogether.

But that just might be the 6.5 Grendel nerd in me talking; and to be honest I haven't looked into the round you're talking about extensively. Any advantage over the 6.5G that you know of?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78653666


Apparently the 6mm ARC is a little better on ballistics down range than the Grendel with less recoil because of the lighter bullet, more like the 5.56.

I'm reading that the 6mm ARC is using the same bolt head and mags as the Grendel. Swap those two and a barrel on your AR and your off to the races.

Just a bolt, barrel and mag change on your existing AR, is what I've been reading.

Re: 6mm ARC - new rifle round out for AR-15 platform... rifles and rounds have been sent to military.
Those velocities are impressive. Supersonic at 1400+ yards out of a .243? And thatll hit a bit harder than a 5.56nato too due to the increase in weight and OD. ID SEE THAT BEING AN UPGRADE IN ANY DESERT. I think youd also need something with a bit farther sight picture than a eotech 552 or a trijicon acog to make use of the rounds increased range with Maybe 45 degree irons ? Perhaps a scope with a smol pic rail on top for a holographic?

Add a great quality 1-8 scope with a NV dot and we will have a war winner.

Still in the light and handy AR-15 platform.
