Suppose for the sake of argument one could agree that the ARC may have benefited by extending the shoulder forward for Varmint bullets. On the other hand, with 103 grain to 108 grain hunting bullet focus, I am of the opinion Hornady Got it right!
I personally like my bolt action CZ 527 chambered in 6mm ARC with a 22" barrel. Been a fine deer rifle. So far I have kept shots inside of 260 yards. Little over 2 years with 6mm ARC in bolt action rifles. Sorry I seem biased, as I do not find myself interested in AR rifles yet.
Why would you believe less powder capacity is better for 103- to 108-grain bullets???
