Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 6mm ARC - Hornady's New Cartridge

.................Agreed! There are always going to be those who will say,,,"we already have enough",,,of either this or that every time something new is intro'd.......Fine! Then don't buy it if it is close to what you already have. But to discourage others from buying?

Yourself and Hornady called it a "new cartridge"...it's nothing new! It's a PPC with a new name and junk ass Hornady brass!!!!

Adam are you saying it has the exact dimensions as a 6mm PPC?

108gr eld-m in factory fodder?

Fits ar mags?

I’m all in.

I’m sure you’re mad at white cops too but it is new. Who offers off the shelf rifles and ammo in ppc? No doubt you do not like creedmoor cases smart phones gps or microwaves.

Exactly. Many will like it many do not need it. Why in the world do a bunch of grumpy old Yankees feel the need to cry about it?

Close enough that it's basically a PPC but enough different that Hornady can claim "they made it".

At 2700 fps?...YAWN!!!!!!!!!

I'd like one in a 700 personally

Hey did you used to be on the G&A Forum?

Your reply makes no sense, please try harder with your insults.

Who buys off the shelf AR's except in .223? AR's are made to be built not bought. But maybe that's above your skill level so you're happy since you'll be able to buy a 6mm ARC at Walmart.

I apologize if you took that as an insult. I assure you I haven’t meant to insult anyone. I just don’t understand how gun people would be so against excellent new chamberings

Yes loading a 223 escapes me. Please let’s get informed from those elderly and those that get to kill 2 deer a year in the state they live in without a wife.

No sir

Few on the 24hrcf are happy, or even claim to be mildly interested, in any new cartridge.

Then again...there are some good bullets in 6mm. Hell, I bet some guys even want to use an AR to try them out! Why would I complain about it?

Good post..

After all, we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

You'll find out there's a lot of yawning mother fu ckers here. Most shoot 1/2 moa rifles too, but have the hardest time proving it. Stick around long enough, you'll see what I'm talking about. I like the new cartridge. Its going to boom and catch on like a sob, probably similar to the 6.5 creedmoor, maybe even more so. Put this in an AR15 and it's going to be exceptional. I'm like you and don't understand why guys have a hard on for every new cartridge to come out. At least this one has something to offer. In the AR platform, you get didly schidt for good choices in 6mm cartridges. Those that are good, are not standardized, so you are left to shoot a wildcat cartridge. Something in the neighborhood of the 6WOA, 6MM Hager, 6DTI, etc. etc. If you reload, its better, but try finding a good set of reloading dies for a cartridge like my 6WOA. Its not going to happen. And to the guy that thinks his 6x45 is just as good as this commercial cartridge, I'm fn rolling. Try finding loaded ammo for that sob. Corbon used to manufacture it, but it shows it as discontinued at midway and it was $46.00/box. I'll likely be buying a 6mm ARC soon, be sure to watch the black rifle thread in the AR and Tactical rifle forum here and I'll post how it actually shoots sub moa groups...I'll fu cking guarantee it..

I like the cartridge but why is it always about your small groups?

Sounds like a fun cartridge.

.22 ARC can't be far behind huh?
