Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles 6mm ARC what do you think ?

Stick,

112s over Lever?

Lever' is my first pitch in 223,223AI,224 Grendel,22BR,270,6 Grendel,6BR and 264 Grendel...with 75's or heavier in .224's,105's and heavier in .243's and 120 or heavier in .264". Hint...................

Johnny one note can't say anything else. Lol. And even with that, he gets a hell of a lot more said than done. He got called out and booted from other forums for being a fraud and a troll 10 years ago. Some things never change.

I'd consider taking that middle cartridge and just trimming about 80 thousandths off the case mouth if I was worried about that (which I agree might become an issue with some bullets)...but I don't give a rat's ass about BC unless its a case of giving up a ridiculous amount of zip. My preferences for a heavier bullet kinda keep me out of the pingpong ball end of the spectrum for the most part, regardless. Whatever the case, I think the Grendel case is just a bit longer in the neck and shorter in the body than ideal.

I agree. On Predator Masters there were some guys playing with a necked down 6.8 to 6mm. I know this would NOT be a long distance paper puncher but I liked the idea of a 6mm with a bit more case and powder as a hunting cartridge for the AR's. Tony has it right, the 6mm needs a bit more case and an 85 grain hunting bullet. I have a couple of uppers looking for the right barrel. I just haven't seen it yet. The ARC sounded interesting but I have not bought a barrel in that case yet. I almost pulled the lever on a 6.8 barrel but that case has pretty much dropped out of sight. I even bought the reloading dies. I'm still looking, but the ARC isn't it.

kwg

Just got one in a howa mini, will probably load an accubond when they become available. May load a soft point until then. Should make a great deer/varmint cartridge for the ranges I'll shoot. I'll shoot 10 or 12 deer with it this year and see.

All you b!tching about the ARC not being long range must not be keeping up on the Precision Rifle Series Gas Gun Division.

Here's a gas gun ringing steel at 1000yds.
Bolt gun ammo can run even faster.
Fast forward to the 10:00 min mark.

I’m gonna build a 6 ARC upper, or else rebuild one of my .223 uppers. Seems like a lot of fun to me just going off what I read and ballistics tables. It was going to be my winter project but the good people dumbasses of Oregon saw fit to pass a measure that instead made me blow my gun money on a few new guns before the measure went into effect (it’s blatantly unconstitutional on both the state and federal level and is currently tied up in the courts).

Unless my notifications all failed still waiting on Hornady to release brass as a component. Annoying.

Nothing to neck 6.5G down Jeff if that’s all you’re waiting on.

This. Get some Starline, squish it in a FL 6 arc die, trim, shoot the pìss out of it.

Thanks, yeah I know. Just figured why not have headstamped brass, etc. It’s been “imminent!” for like 6 months now, if not longer.

No… money is what’s stopping me. I bought a bunch of guns and mags late 2022 in response to that measure. Shot my wad.

I’m about to be wheels-up on a long adventure and won’t be back until June, so once I get back, get workin’, and get out of the hole I’ll be in… THEN I’ll build the ARC.

This is the rifle I’m going to either cannibalise and just rebuild this upper, or build a new upper for. It’s got a 3-10 SHV on it which I think will be a good scope for the ARC.

That'll work nice. I love my AR ARC. It's almost replaced the 5.56 as my favorite round in them.

That's what you get when you vote for liberal's.....your just to stupid to figure it out.............

That was my first AR build. The intent was a mid-range target rifle. I don’t find myself using it much, and if I’m just “shootin’”, I grab one of my lighter carbines. Whereas, I think a 6 ARC will be a superb mid to long-ish range toy, and if it works out, take some load off my bolt guns. I think it’ll get used.

I already bought a half-dozen ARC/Grendel mags as part of my panic buying a few months ago.

Off topic………. I keep picturing a 6 ARC anti-drone gun, either a double or quad barrel, on a turret, in the back of a “technical” light truck in Ukraine. So sort of like 4 SAWs or similar, but in 6 ARC. A radar and targeting solution computer. Seems like it’d have the range to hit the drones and pack some punch when it arrived but be much lighter and cheaper to run than the big German AA vehicles, or the surface to air missile systems…..

Have you seen what Washington State is trying to pass?

Hold my Bud Light.....

Before you call someone stupid, get your spelling right, or you look stupid.

Walter I’m still not stupid enough to vote for liberals……YMMV

I'm not sure if you're shading him or me.

I've voted in every election since I was 18, and zero votes for liberals of any kind.

Your buddy Jeff can’t say the same…
