For those of you that might be building your own 6mm ARC upper: some of the barrels out there actually have the gas block out at a farther position than rifle length. If your 18" (or longer) barrel comes with a gas block and gas tube, this might be the case. In my case, the gas block stuck out about an inch passed the 15" handguard that I intended to use, and it took me a lot of searching to find a handguard that was long enough to cover the gas block, but not so long that it got in the way of the muzzle device. I eventually found a 16.5" from Hera Industries that does the job.
I've been on the 6ARC bandwagon for a minute now and I am blown away with the performance. I keep telling my buddies to pick one up but they have to see to believe. I see no use for a large frame for my needs going forward, huge 6ARC fan!

Yup, the Grendel handles a wider range of bullet weights and hits harder. I won't deny the ARC makes a good paper puncher but if you want something for taking game then use a bigger caliber like the Grendel.
This is exactly why I came to the comments. I want to know how they compare. Ballistically, size, weight, velocity, etc they’re very similar. Grendal on the other hand is cheaper and more readily available.
One of my favourite things is when Micha trolls mike and leaves in some awkward/ unnecessary footage. Because you know mike is just as surprised as we are by it
I'm sure some has corrected the comment at 23:20 regarding the upper. The AR upper works fine, and a 6ARC barrel fits fine as well as the BCG. You do need to change the bolt to the 6.5 Grendel size bolt. This is also the weak spot for the 6ARC as bolts do break on occasion. Built my 6ARC gasser a couple of years ago and enjoy it so much that this week I took possession of a Howa Mini-1500 6ARC bolt gun.
What is really crazy is the US navy used the Lee Navy rifle in 6mm all the way back in 1895, and they even made arguments that this was the future of bullet technology that small high velocity rounds out perform larger slower bullets in tissue disruption etc. This is in a era when some guns still shot giant 11mm bullets and German Mausers would adopt 7.92x57. The US was too ahead of the curve at the time, problems manufacturing the ammo and the expensive complex Lee Navy rifles droomed widespread adoption, but it's wild to think engineers were that forward thinking all the way back then. They would feel very vindicated today with the way cartridge technology has progressed.
6.5x55 Swedish (1894), 6.5 Jap (1897), 6.5 Carcano (1890), 6.5 Mannlicher (1892) etc... To nail something so close to the invention of smokeless powder only to semi-abandon it seems odd like you said, but if I had to guess it was because of the ever present logistical desire of militaries for ammo parity between arms, and the notion arose that a smaller bullet like 6mm would be insufficient in its role as an emplaced or light machine gun caliber, so they scaled everything up, with small arms following. Just a guess...
Things come full circle eventually in ballistics. There's lots of great advancement in ballistic technology, but physics are always the constant in that equation.
Absolutely love my 6 ARC. Glad that I was able to get the 20” Compass Lake Engineering barrel before they shut down operations. Damn thing is an absolute hammer!
The only thing that amazes me is that it took the DOD this long to finally look at a .243 platform. I know it’s always a trade off between capacity and punch, but .243 has always been a proven deer hunting performer.
It honestly doesn't surprise me one bit, going back to the days of teddy Roosevelt and the rough riders facing bolt action mausers with trapdoor Springfield rifles our ordinance dept has always been behind on weaponry... They replaced the trapdoor single shots with the already obsolete 30/40 krag, panicked and copied the mauser 98 for the most part, they ended up paying a royalty on every 03 made to mauser due to patent infringement. They also screwed up the heat treat in the process which resulted in brittle actions that liked to shatter. It's been a clusterfokk since day one!
6mm ARC with the higher pressure out of a bolt gun is screaming fast. 6mm ARC has two different pressure ratings, one for gas guns and one for bolt guns.
yup...this was meant to use 6.5 Gren bolts and mags but improve on it, and with less recoil. Hornady just stole the idea, changed bullet diameter for less recoil, and rebranded it lol
The Grendel has more powder because of a shorter bullet, but it's not a high BC bullet with long range wind control. If you want more powder with a higher BC bullet, Hornady also gave us the 22 ARC, whitch is 22-250 performance out of a short barrel AR.
@@terrywright93086.5 Grendel matches bc and even beats bc of 6mm in most loadings.Problems is, to do it, it has to give up muzzle velocity. Hornady said 6mm was the sweat spot of velocity and bc for the limited powder available in ar15. That’s is why they necked down 6.5 Grendel to 6mm
I do hope you liked the serial number on that lower. Hand picked it myself when I was tasked with building the lower. The trigger is a GFR-E and that specific trigger is the nicest trigger I ever installed in a lower and I've installed thousands.
It looks like you put a lot of time and craftsmanship into hand fitting that rifle- Thanks for your hard work! Could you tell me more about the GFR-E. I know it has nano coating like the new X variants of the SSA and the SSA-E. Is it a new trigger, or a specialty trigger. I enjoy details, so feel free to go nuts.
You can do a 6arc build with a standard AR upper receiver, its just the bolt face that is different. Uses a 6.5 grendel bolt. Maybe Geissele makes a specific upper receiver for 6arc, but if you're putting one together yourself it doesn't require anything special besides the bolt and barrel.
Would be interesting to see a comparison between something like 6 ARC, 6.5G, and 6.8 SPC. Maybe include a segment on 16 vs ~11.5 in a similar format as this video.
I shot a 6mm arc precision rifle that a guy had built himself at my local range. Whoooo boy was it a fun gun. Really loved getting to use it the few shots he allowed me to get off. Interesting to learn more about it here!

Haven't looked back from three yrs ago. Have a Carbon Proof 18" barrel on mine. It reloads very well. LOTS of bullet options. Using bullets in the 80-90 grn range for PD including the V-Max which gets me in the 3K vicinity. Berger Hybrids in 105, 109 for long range. You have the perfect scope on it as well. Best tactual ever made, and one of my overall favorite. If I had one gripe, it would be the hollowed out bolt head. Sides are VERY thin. Bought a JP, and no problems so far. store an extra in my grip.
6 arc is pretty cool I think. The factory offerings for ammo are limited but the potential is really unlocked when hand loaded. In a bolt gun you’re getting into 6BR ballistics and nearing the 6 creed. Pretty badass little round
I built a 26” bolt gun and by reloading I can push a 108ELDM to 2900fps. SuperSonic over 1400yds and it shoots 0.8MOA ten shot groups. Even factory 108’s shoot 2749fps with an SD of 5.7fps
@@HunterMikeWI yeah, it’s pretty badass. I’m running a br but after playing around with the arc, my next barrel is going to be an arc. Same performance but I can buy factory ammo in a pinch and don’t have to worry about feeding issues that the br has
@@K-bob_45 as far as what? The br or arc? 6BR and its variants are not known for great feeding. Takes a little bit of tuning with the magazine and stuff for it to work well.
@@K-bob_45 my experience with the 6arc in bolt guns is limited, but from my experience and what I’ve heard from others it feeds vary well. In an AR platform the rounds feed excellently with a 6.5 Grendel magazine
Amusing to see that the modern US military FINALLY came to the same conclusion that other people or other militaries of the past had WAY back then: 6mm caliber is the ideal, true intermediate cartridge.
I suggest connecting the two sides of the bipod with elastic cord. That's what we did in the army, and it makes it so you just need to open one side and the other opens automatically
I had a 6mm ARC 20" that really dived deep on with bolt manufacturing materials and reloading. Hornady claims about 2750ft/s out of an 18" barrel. I have found that their statements are false, as shown on Mike's video there too. The flaw with this cartridge is that there are 2 SAAMI Specifications for 6mm ARC. One for semi-autos (ARs at 52k PSI), and one for bolt actions (62k PSI). The reasoning behind this is that the enlarged rim diameter compared to a 5.56, a 6mm ARC (which uses 6.5 grendel as parent case, and therein a 6.5grendel type 2 bolt) cannot exceed 52k PSI and will have too much bolt thrust force imparted onto the AR bolt locking lugs. This is the same for 6.5 grendel bolts. This is something that's been documented and known. If a manufacturer were to find whatever secret sauce metallurgy Ruger does in their SFAR (a small frame AR15 patterned rifle that shoots .308) and pair it with a 6mm ARC, I think they'd really be improving the cartridge-firearm system for reliability, and to handle the hotter loadings rearward forces. I would really encourage flannel daddy to really give the firearm a hard run to see how many rounds it would take to start seeing bolt lug sheering. Back to the difference of PSI, Semi-Auto according to SAAMI is rated for 52k PSI, and Bolt Actions are 62k PSI. This is on hornady's reloading database. Please note that when you purchase a box from Hornady, neither say whether it's specific for Bolt Actions or Semi-Autos. So, being the devious little creature I am, I buy a box of factory Hornady 108gr ELD-M and a box of Hornady 105gr BTHP "black" - same ammo flannel daddy shot. I set aside 5 bullets from each box of 20 to disassemble and measure everything about the cartridge, including the round, powder charge, the weights, length of brass, so on. I then calibrated a model on Gordon's Reloading Tool, and shot rounds to have it match up accordingly. What I found is that both of these rounds are at about 55-58k PSI depending on ambient temperature. that's 3-6k over SAAMI specifications for semi-autos, which is what this round is more commonly used for. As for the pressure issues aside, finding an adequate powder to get those single digit SDs those long range shooters desire is fairly difficult for higher grain bullets 95gr to 115gr and still getting decent velocity and complete powder burn. Many many times I've seen even out of my 20" 6mm Arc, getting incomplete powder burn with the typical high velocity loadings. That gives it velocity variations, and leads to vertical stringing - taking the shooter out of the equation. This cartridge really does shine though when using lower grain projectiles from 90gr and below, getting really nice results, even exceeding 3,000ft/s in some instances. Coyote and hog hunters in particular like this round for its effectiveness. TL;DR: PSI too hot for semi. Bolt go boom. small weight bullet good. Cheers from an autist.
@@steveelder5306 still not complete burn at temps below 75°F. Does get nice velocities though. Incredibly temp instable powder. I live in AK, and so that powder can be over pressured at 115°F and getting complete burn, but at any temps below 75°F, it falls flat on its face.
I had actually contacted CMMG in regards to this when I found out they were releasing a rifle in 6mm ARC. I asked if they planned to use the Mutant PowerBolt to utilize the larger 308 style bolt head to handle the stronger PSI of this cartridge to get the most out of what Hornady stated in it's advertisements. Unfortunately they decided to go the same route as everyone else when building around this cartridge. To me they really missed out on an opportunity given they have the equipment to build a perfect semi auto rifle for the 6mm ARC.
I checked the SAAMI spec for a reference to the 62K PSI spec you talked about and was unable to find it. Could you provide a reference SAAMI year and page number?
Check out the new 100Gr ELD-VT from Hornady in 6.5mm. When loaded in the Grendel, it gives very similar trajectory to 1000 yards compared to the 108 gr ELDM in 6mm ARC.
@@mikebyers954 They are weird. Our M4 has a life expectancy of 10-12k. I've also heard the Sig Spear 6.8x51 was also getting implemented. But that barrel life is even shorter yet.

6-ARC is great in bolt guns too. I bought an 18” Savage 110 in 6 ARC as a hobby gun. Considering all the component shortages, it’s great! Especially since it’s a 1200 yard capable rifle that takes small rifle primers. Using Varget it wasn’t hard to get a load shooting 3/8”. I’m a fan.
This video made me super happy. I thought of this round back in 2021 and was pretty excited to see hornady come out with it. Now, with gt covering it, it might actually get popular enough to stick around.
In regards to wearing out the guns faster Geissele did a lot of work to make a stronger bolt and extractor, multi port gas system for softer bolt cycling and a reinforced upper with new enhanced barrel extension to make it as strong and long lasting as a comparable m4 platform

this is just a rerun of the 6mm remington which the military used early on due to its high performance in range, i have one in a hunting rifle and it can shoot from 0-600 yards with no change in hold over
Happy to see this. I think 6arc is maybe the best thing ever for the AR platform. I use a 12.5” suppressed with a 6-7” suppressor and hit torso size targets out to 1000 yards. Thats simply put- insane. Small short super light large ammo capacity retained more lethality then 5.56 and the ability to reach out insanely far. Handloading it is a blast too.
Not really, the 280 had a less potent powder charge than modern cartridges that seem superficially similar. It had inferior ballistics to 308, without providing much in terms of capacity. Using modern powders it might be good, but not when it was invented.
@timbirch4999 that has more to do with the muzzle breaks on m14 than anything. The Italian bm59 was fairly controllable, and the 240B, and other modern light machineguns use 7.62 without any issues.
@@Borderline5440 people were wildcatting it before it got approved its just 6.5 grendel necked to 6mm which has been a thing for 20 years which was based on .220 russian so that is from the 60s, they already made 6m ppc in the 70s from that but this is just a 6.5 grendel case adjusted.
You go to olive garden and order unlimited salad and breadsticks. The first serving comes out. You eat it. The second serving comes. You eat that as well. The third serving comes. You're starting to get full, but you eat it cause heck you want to get your money's worth right? Then the fourth serving comes. You start to eat it but stop about a third of the way through cause you're full and you can't eat any more. As the waitress comes to give you a 5th serving, you tell her you won't eat it and that you're ready to pay. She replies "okay" with a smile and goes to get your check, but leaves the 5th serving on your table. About 10 minutes go buy and the waitress comes out with a 6th serving. You grow a little irritated and tell her that you didn't want any more food, you wanted the check. Again she smiles and says "I'll bring that right out." As she's walking away another waitress comes out with a 7th serving of food. You're stunned at what's happening as you now have nearly 3 full portions of uneaten food. The waitress comes back with an 8th serving and tells you the computers are down, and it might take longer than expected to process the credit card payment. She places the food on top of the food already on the table. The other patrons at the restaurant are now starting to glance at your table with confusion. Then a 9th serving comes out. At this point you can't even see the table underneath the food but that doesn't stop the waitress from bringing a 10th serving. You're irate now and demand her bring you your credit card back so you can leave. She says the payment is still processing but she'll go check on it. She comes back with a 10th serving and tells you the payment is still processing, but if you're going to have to wait if she could bring you some water. You oblige, bewildered at the pile of uneaten salad and breadsticks strewn before you, as the warm scent of garlic fills your nostrils. She comes back with an 11th serving and a glass of water. You drink the water. A 12th serving comes out. At this point the food is piled so high you can't even see across the table anymore. 13th serving. Food starts to fall on the floor. 14th serving. People start to leave the restaurant, confused and a bit frightened at the spectacle. 15. You start to get up and leave, but the waitress tells you it won't be much longer. "I don't care!" You say, your voice cracking from fear, "just let me get out of here!" "I'm afraid I cannot do that sir. You must finish the unlimited salad and breadsticks you ordered." At this point, 30 servings lay on and around your table. A conveyor of waiters are stacking up servings one by one at the tables surrounding you. Kitchen production has reached 1 serving every four seconds. After 100 servings have been brought out you try to make a break for the door, but you slip on a greasy breadstick and fall face first onto the floor. "Oh can I help you sir?" A worried voice asks. You look up. It's the waitress. "Please, just let me go. I'll do anything, please!" She smiles and replies "Oh sir, you chose your fate already, and it only cost you $6.99." You begin to cry. You crawl to the door. It's locked. 250 servings. You begin to wet yourself. You pray, hoping for a miracle. 428 servings. Breadsticks are now shooting out of the kitchen like bullets from a submachine gun. All the waiters and waitresses have gotten on their knees and formed a circle, citing the Olive Garden code of conduct as smoke billows from the floor within. Salad dressing starts to fall from the ceiling. You begin to suffocate from the lettuce blocking your nasal passages 2564 servings. You accept your fate. Power comes in and out, a lightning storm forms outside. There are so many breadsticks in the restaurant that you are unable to see any light. The door breaks open and food begins to pour out at the speed of sound. The road in front of the restaurant gets covered in slippery lettuce and salad dressing, causing a multi car pile up. 6591 servings. The earth begins to tremble. There is a power blackout. 15477 servings. Nothing can stop the cataclysm. 61899 servings. 422455 servings 10174592 servings. The earth begins to split. Volcanic magma makes its way to the surface. The olive garden emoloyees have summoned Cthulhu. He sets fire to the continent. Salad and breadsticks completely cover the earth. Oxygen supply is cut off. Sunlight is nonexistent. You're already dead. The unlimited salad and breadsticks continue to multiply, increasing the mass of the earth to unsustainable levels. Earth collapses into itself, causing a supernova the likes of which have never happened before. Silence.

They replaced the trapdoor single shots with the already obsolete 30/40 krag, panicked and copied the mauser 98 for the most part, they ended up paying a royalty on every 03 made to mauser due to patent infringement. They also screwed up the heat treat in the process which resulted in brittle actions that liked to shatter. It's been a clusterfokk since day one!

GT: “What if we could split the difference…”
6.5 Grendel from 2003: 🤨
yup...this was meant to use 6.5 Gren bolts and mags but improve on it, and with less recoil. Hornady just stole the idea, changed bullet diameter for less recoil, and rebranded it lol
I wondered if this was / was similar to a 6grendel
The Grendel has more powder because of a shorter bullet, but it's not a high BC bullet with long range wind control. If you want more powder with a higher BC bullet, Hornady also gave us the 22 ARC, whitch is 22-250 performance out of a short barrel AR.
@@terrywright93086.5 Grendel matches bc and even beats bc of 6mm in most loadings.Problems is, to do it, it has to give up muzzle velocity. Hornady said 6mm was the sweat spot of velocity and bc for the limited powder available in ar15. That’s is why they necked down 6.5 Grendel to 6mm
@@terrywright9308 nonsense...6.5G BC is incredibly efficient.
I do hope you liked the serial number on that lower. Hand picked it myself when I was tasked with building the lower. The trigger is a GFR-E and that specific trigger is the nicest trigger I ever installed in a lower and I've installed thousands.
lol what was the number
@@angeloc1340 serial ended with 69
Nice
It looks like you put a lot of time and craftsmanship into hand fitting that rifle- Thanks for your hard work! Could you tell me more about the GFR-E. I know it has nano coating like the new X variants of the SSA and the SSA-E. Is it a new trigger, or a specialty trigger. I enjoy details, so feel free to go nuts.
@ZachAttack2U it's mostly a wide body like the SSAE-X but with a curved trigger instead of the Lightning Bow. Nano coated. 4ish pound two stage pull.
“You can’t run from the flannel forever, Mike. We remember”
You can do a 6arc build with a standard AR upper receiver, its just the bolt face that is different. Uses a 6.5 grendel bolt. Maybe Geissele makes a specific upper receiver for 6arc, but if you're putting one together yourself it doesn't require anything special besides the bolt and barrel.
I caught that too. Everything is the same minus barrel and bolt.
bolt barrel and mag i thought?
@@tysonfromm5397 oops, yeah mag is different too. I was just thinking of the rifle parts, forgot about feeding it. 😁😂
Came here to say this. Upper reciever is the same just a different bolt and mag
I prefer the 224 Valkyrie myself.
Would be interesting to see a comparison between something like 6 ARC, 6.5G, and 6.8 SPC. Maybe include a segment on 16 vs ~11.5 in a similar format as this video.
I shot a 6mm arc precision rifle that a guy had built himself at my local range. Whoooo boy was it a fun gun. Really loved getting to use it the few shots he allowed me to get off. Interesting to learn more about it here!

Yep,I just built a second two weeks ago.
Haven't looked back from three yrs ago. Have a Carbon Proof 18" barrel on mine. It reloads very well. LOTS of bullet options. Using bullets in the 80-90 grn range for PD including the V-Max which gets me in the 3K vicinity. Berger Hybrids in 105, 109 for long range. You have the perfect scope on it as well. Best tactual ever made, and one of my overall favorite. If I had one gripe, it would be the hollowed out bolt head. Sides are VERY thin. Bought a JP, and no problems so far. store an extra in my grip.
Glad I got into 6 ARC before this vid dropped. Nobody in my local area buys this stuff but me.
😂
That's about to change 😂
6 arc is pretty cool I think. The factory offerings for ammo are limited but the potential is really unlocked when hand loaded. In a bolt gun you’re getting into 6BR ballistics and nearing the 6 creed. Pretty badass little round
I built a 26” bolt gun and by reloading I can push a 108ELDM to 2900fps. SuperSonic over 1400yds and it shoots 0.8MOA ten shot groups.
Even factory 108’s shoot 2749fps with an SD of 5.7fps
@@HunterMikeWI yeah, it’s pretty badass. I’m running a br but after playing around with the arc, my next barrel is going to be an arc. Same performance but I can buy factory ammo in a pinch and don’t have to worry about feeding issues that the br has
@@Jtmorrison2000 you sure about those feed issues?
@@K-bob_45 as far as what? The br or arc? 6BR and its variants are not known for great feeding. Takes a little bit of tuning with the magazine and stuff for it to work well.
@@K-bob_45 my experience with the 6arc in bolt guns is limited, but from my experience and what I’ve heard from others it feeds vary well. In an AR platform the rounds feed excellently with a 6.5 Grendel magazine
I would love to see how this stacks up against a 6.5 Grendal with a similar build.
Amusing to see that the modern US military FINALLY came to the same conclusion that other people or other militaries of the past had WAY back then: 6mm caliber is the ideal, true intermediate cartridge.
I suggest connecting the two sides of the bipod with elastic cord. That's what we did in the army, and it makes it so you just need to open one side and the other opens automatically
I had a 6mm ARC 20" that really dived deep on with bolt manufacturing materials and reloading.
Hornady claims about 2750ft/s out of an 18" barrel. I have found that their statements are false, as shown on Mike's video there too. The flaw with this cartridge is that there are 2 SAAMI Specifications for 6mm ARC. One for semi-autos (ARs at 52k PSI), and one for bolt actions (62k PSI). The reasoning behind this is that the enlarged rim diameter compared to a 5.56, a 6mm ARC (which uses 6.5 grendel as parent case, and therein a 6.5grendel type 2 bolt) cannot exceed 52k PSI and will have too much bolt thrust force imparted onto the AR bolt locking lugs. This is the same for 6.5 grendel bolts. This is something that's been documented and known. If a manufacturer were to find whatever secret sauce metallurgy Ruger does in their SFAR (a small frame AR15 patterned rifle that shoots .308) and pair it with a 6mm ARC, I think they'd really be improving the cartridge-firearm system for reliability, and to handle the hotter loadings rearward forces. I would really encourage flannel daddy to really give the firearm a hard run to see how many rounds it would take to start seeing bolt lug sheering.
Back to the difference of PSI, Semi-Auto according to SAAMI is rated for 52k PSI, and Bolt Actions are 62k PSI. This is on hornady's reloading database. Please note that when you purchase a box from Hornady, neither say whether it's specific for Bolt Actions or Semi-Autos. So, being the devious little creature I am, I buy a box of factory Hornady 108gr ELD-M and a box of Hornady 105gr BTHP "black" - same ammo flannel daddy shot. I set aside 5 bullets from each box of 20 to disassemble and measure everything about the cartridge, including the round, powder charge, the weights, length of brass, so on. I then calibrated a model on Gordon's Reloading Tool, and shot rounds to have it match up accordingly. What I found is that both of these rounds are at about 55-58k PSI depending on ambient temperature. that's 3-6k over SAAMI specifications for semi-autos, which is what this round is more commonly used for.
As for the pressure issues aside, finding an adequate powder to get those single digit SDs those long range shooters desire is fairly difficult for higher grain bullets 95gr to 115gr and still getting decent velocity and complete powder burn. Many many times I've seen even out of my 20" 6mm Arc, getting incomplete powder burn with the typical high velocity loadings. That gives it velocity variations, and leads to vertical stringing - taking the shooter out of the equation. This cartridge really does shine though when using lower grain projectiles from 90gr and below, getting really nice results, even exceeding 3,000ft/s in some instances. Coyote and hog hunters in particular like this round for its effectiveness.
TL;DR:
PSI too hot for semi. Bolt go boom.
small weight bullet good.
Cheers from an autist.
I bow to your 'tism. Thank you.
Leverevoloution
@@steveelder5306 still not complete burn at temps below 75°F. Does get nice velocities though. Incredibly temp instable powder. I live in AK, and so that powder can be over pressured at 115°F and getting complete burn, but at any temps below 75°F, it falls flat on its face.
I had actually contacted CMMG in regards to this when I found out they were releasing a rifle in 6mm ARC. I asked if they planned to use the Mutant PowerBolt to utilize the larger 308 style bolt head to handle the stronger PSI of this cartridge to get the most out of what Hornady stated in it's advertisements.
Unfortunately they decided to go the same route as everyone else when building around this cartridge. To me they really missed out on an opportunity given they have the equipment to build a perfect semi auto rifle for the 6mm ARC.
I checked the SAAMI spec for a reference to the 62K PSI spec you talked about and was unable to find it. Could you provide a reference SAAMI year and page number?

As is with most of the varmint crowd that grabbed it too. The new 6 max cartridge is pretty great too for lighter projectiles. 22 arc has also lit off in the varmint crowd, same as 6 arc, everyone ik, and their friends has or is in the process of it also.

6-ARC is great in bolt guns too. I bought an 18” Savage 110 in 6 ARC as a hobby gun. Considering all the component shortages, it’s great! Especially since it’s a 1200 yard capable rifle that takes small rifle primers. Using Varget it wasn’t hard to get a load shooting 3/8”. I’m a fan.

In regards to wearing out the guns faster Geissele did a lot of work to make a stronger bolt and extractor, multi port gas system for softer bolt cycling and a reinforced upper with new enhanced barrel extension to make it as strong and long lasting as a comparable m4 platform

@@SPIRIT-117 agreed
this is just a rerun of the 6mm remington which the military used early on due to its high performance in range, i have one in a hunting rifle and it can shoot from 0-600 yards with no change in hold over
No, its really not. 6 Rem is much closer to the 243 than the ARC.
Happy to see this. I think 6arc is maybe the best thing ever for the AR platform. I use a 12.5” suppressed with a 6-7” suppressor and hit torso size targets out to 1000 yards. Thats simply put- insane. Small short super light large ammo capacity retained more lethality then 5.56 and the ability to reach out insanely far. Handloading it is a blast too.
So it's actually just the original 280 round from the FAL. If the DoD hadn't undermined the program we wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.
280 from the EM-2, but no it’s a different round the 280 British was a 7x43mm round 130/140 grain.
It’s more like a 6 ppc improved just a different label.
Not really, the 280 had a less potent powder charge than modern cartridges that seem superficially similar. It had inferior ballistics to 308, without providing much in terms of capacity. Using modern powders it might be good, but not when it was invented.
@@Laz7481 Except you could fire 280 on full auto without rattling all your fillings out.

You go to olive garden and order unlimited salad and breadsticks. The first serving comes out. You eat it. The second serving comes. You eat that as well. The third serving comes. You're starting to get full, but you eat it cause heck you want to get your money's worth right? Then the fourth serving comes. You start to eat it but stop about a third of the way through cause you're full and you can't eat any more. As the waitress comes to give you a 5th serving, you tell her you won't eat it and that you're ready to pay.

About 10 minutes go buy and the waitress comes out with a 6th serving. You grow a little irritated and tell her that you didn't want any more food, you wanted the check. Again she smiles and says "I'll bring that right out." As she's walking away another waitress comes out with a 7th serving of food. You're stunned at what's happening as you now have nearly 3 full portions of uneaten food. The waitress comes back with an 8th serving and tells you the computers are down, and it might take longer than expected to process the credit card payment. She places the food on top of the food already on the table. The other patrons at the restaurant are now starting to glance at your table with confusion.
Then a 9th serving comes out.
At this point you can't even see the table underneath the food but that doesn't stop the waitress from bringing a 10th serving. You're irate now and demand her bring you your credit card back so you can leave. She says the payment is still processing but she'll go check on it.
She comes back with a 10th serving and tells you the payment is still processing, but if you're going to have to wait if she could bring you some water. You oblige, bewildered at the pile of uneaten salad and breadsticks strewn before you, as the warm scent of garlic fills your nostrils. She comes back with an 11th serving and a glass of water. You drink the water. A 12th serving comes out. At this point the food is piled so high you can't even see across the table anymore. 13th serving. Food starts to fall on the floor. 14th serving. People start to leave the restaurant, confused and a bit frightened at the spectacle.
15.
You start to get up and leave, but the waitress tells you it won't be much longer. "I don't care!" You say, your voice cracking from fear, "just let me get out of here!"
"I'm afraid I cannot do that sir. You must finish the unlimited salad and breadsticks you ordered."
At this point, 30 servings lay on and around your table. A conveyor of waiters are stacking up servings one by one at the tables surrounding you. Kitchen production has reached 1 serving every four seconds. After 100 servings have been brought out you try to make a break for the door, but you slip on a greasy breadstick and fall face first onto the floor.
"Oh can I help you sir?" A worried voice asks. You look up. It's the waitress. "Please, just let me go. I'll do anything, please!"
She smiles and replies "Oh sir, you chose your fate already, and it only cost you $6.99."
You begin to cry. You crawl to the door. It's locked.
