Re: 6mm ARC - new rifle round out for AR-15 platform... rifles and rounds have been sent to military.
I stocked up on green-tip ammo...I can put a round anywhere I want with precision, but I really don't see the need to kill something a mile away...the only drawback is I'm not allowed to shoot them at the indoor range nearby...so I just buy a couple boxes to plink with when I go...

Re: 6mm ARC - new rifle round out for AR-15 platform... rifles and rounds have been sent to military.
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


Really good article and review from Ryan Cleckner.

Some differences to 6.5 Grendel. In fact, for testing the manufacturers were using 6.5 Grendel mags that had some issues.

I’ll never be shooting out to the distances this caliber is designed for and my 300 Blackout is plenty expensive enough to feed and powerful enough to protect my family if swap out uppers from my 5.56.

Probably being tested and used by SF.


Hornady - 6mm ARC 105 gr. Ballistic Coefficient .530 G1

Barrett - REC7 24 round mags.

18 inch barrel...

Muz. - V. 2618 fps. E. 1598 ft.lb

450 yards - V. 1958 fps. E. 894 ft. lb. Deer

850 yards - V. 1472 fps. E. 505 ft. lb. Anti-personnel

1425 yards - V. 1040 fps. Still Supersonic

 Quoting: Vicious Deplorable dollop



Im all about fire power and those are some respectful numbers. But at 1.47 per round, it's not exactly a better option for 5.56 which is roughly .32 per round and up. Not criticizing but this will prolly become another fad round for the AR platform. In my opinion, the 300 win mag/7mm Ar10 and ar15 platform provides more bang for your buck and has been tested and proven in combat and the range for yrs now. But, i do like where the 6mm is heading. It could open up many possibilities down the round after the kinks get worked out. Would love to put some lead down range with it. For now, i have to stick with the 7.62 and 5.56 calibers for close quarters and 200yds or less. My Barrett 338 MRAD will have to do for further targets.

Knight Arms developed the PDW carbine which I think is far superior to the AR. It uses a 6x35mm round which is like the ARC round. I would give your left nut to have one of these guns. The mil is not changing anytime soon as there are just too many parts and ammo around the world for the ar.

Price is the same when there is rare ammo. Once more people produce this type of ammo it will fall down. Hell even the 5.56 will go down in price because of this. Like the 5.7 x28. The more weapons they make with this ammo and more people make the ammo it will be cheaper. Hopefully this new one you mention can get to civilian hands.

From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.”

Pointless new round... It has no real advantage over the already existing 6.5 grendel... The Grendel at this point is a more supported round in the industry with more companies making uppers and cheaper plinking ammo.

Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.

Another cartridge nobody asked for. But with Hornady behind it, it could pick up, just like 6.5mm Creedmore.

I think the AR-15 bolt design and 7.62x39mm case diameter are not exactly good combinations. Very little metal left on the lugs.
