With the 6ARC or 6.5CM I'm just getting started @ 20 rounds.

Well the manbun cartridges were designed for shooting paper , the 30-06 was a battle rifle cartridge from the old days made for men that turned out to be an excellent all around big game cartridge. I know the ARC was designed as a better intermediate round to replace the 5.56 but both are very light recoil and better suited for long strings. 20 rounds of 30-06 is plenty to check sight in and appraise trigger.
