You have a cartridge which will work in an AR-15 or mini bolt action. It uses 6mm bullets which can range from 55 to 108 grains. The recoil energy is around 6 ft lb. It carries over 1000 ft/lb of energy past 400 yards. Plus it is being used by the military. A nice light weight, low recoil option for varmints/deer/pronghorn. I know I don't always like the new thing, but I kinda like this one.

To the guy who mentioned the 6x45 how many guns are chambered for that setting on the shelf with ammo available? It’s like they have a club that has to bash anything new. I may never own one but I’m sure glad the companies are getting new and better things on the market for people who don’t build custom rifles and hand load.

Whatever gets people interested in shooting I am ok with. I am better served with a 6mm CM. ~2700 with a good BC is a good place to be.

So they "invented" a 6mm PPC?
Since when is the military using the Hornady version?

Mostly I think the govt just spent a billion dollars of our money on a lateral move which pisses me off and doesn't accomplish much else.

Fair bored with all the mutant 5.56mm designs they have crafted over recent times. Might be better ways to fulfill needs than reinventing the wheel.
I am..........disturbed.

Since when is the military using the Hornady version? They didn’t invent anything but seem to be standardizing something. If that goes over your head maybe you should join the hunters campfire with the fella who yawns.

It sounds like a great option for an AR platform. But this guy was making it sound superior to a .243 or 6MM Remington in a bolt gun. Yeah, the twist rate's tighter, but my Remington 700 .243 Win. has a 1:9 twist and I know it will stabilize 105 grain bullets and probably 106 and possibly 108. And if not I can always rebarrel to something tighter. I can always rebarrel to a 1:7 or 1:7.5 twist. I looked it up and the ARC comes with a 1:7.5. That's all this has got on anything else,except it will fit nicely in an AR. For the guy that hunts with an AR this sounds great. But don't compare it to a .243 Win.or 6mm Remington for a regular hunting rifle.

Hey kaleb? Didn't realize you were in charge of everyone's OPINIONS. Pardon me for having one and for being in the wrong place apparently. Do I have permission to go elsewhere on the site?

I just don’t know why you want to be all negative and hateful about a new cartridge? If that is what floats your boat then have at it. I hear they have hydraulic fluid now helping cars and trucks drive easier. I’m sure that wasn’t needed in the past either.

So the 6mm Grendel, I mean ARC is better than anything in 223 because the bullet is bigger, and its better than anything in 308 or 6.5 because the bullet is smaller, according to the video they emailed me.
This may be a decent little cartridge, and have some practical application, but their hype makes me just shake my head. That made it sound like it could replace a .300 win mag.

Not meaning to be negative. Just don't see the niche it fits that isn't already filled 3 times over. But to each their own.

Everyone knows the 6.5 Creedless already replaced the .300 win mag...this "new" version of a dozen other cartridges will replace the .375 H&H for DG.
