For hunting stuff inside 300, I would NOT dump a 223 for an ARC. If I wanted ‘more’ for hunting inside 300, I’d look for noticeably more….HAMR, 6.8, even Grendel. If you’re going to shoot critters at 300 or beyond, more often than that one time at band camp, arc makes some sense….but so does a bigger case to launch stuff, too.
