Thanks for checking out the 6mm ARC.

EXCITING!! My brother always wanted to see a .243 or a .270 in an AR platform (God rest his soul). I have to get one of these just to honor him, as once again... He had a great idea.

Because I can see your Interest in this round in your video! And the build is something that could be duplicated if the proper premium parts are available on the market in the near future. Building a rife as good as the Resolute 300 is just your thing! Bringing us updates on current second amendment affairs and the awesome builds that you put out in your video's keep us all intrigued! I do appreciate you and your channel. Thank you Kotaboy32 for being there.

Been here since a couple thousand subs and this is the most exciting thing I've waited for.

Very cool, I’ll stick to my grendel until this is a little more widely adopted. Thanks for the video!

Very cool video KB -32 😁👍... I'm building a 6mm arc Upper just waiting on a few parts to get delivered. I went with a Ballistic Advantage DMR 20 inch Barrel and a Aero Precision Enhanced M4E1 upper receiver with 15 in handguard. Thanks for sharing your experience with us 😁👍🇺🇸👊

I love the innovation in the 6mm range we are seeing

Excellent vid, and more importantly the right gun tuber is testing it. Bravo 👏 👏 👏

Awesome video. A joy to watch!

I’m actually very interested in this caliber. I usually roll my eyes at all these new calibers but 6mm is where it’s at. It’s perfect for long distance and self defense in my opinion. I bet you can spot your own shots without trouble and get effective terminal performance out to 500 yards.

My PRS rifle is chambered in 6 ARC, it performs extremely well in matches. Have also used it on coyotes out to 1450 yards, and hogs out to 800 yards. Drops them in their tracks.

Cool video, KB32.

Great Rifle and Video Man!!! Godspeed to you and yours my brother!

Awesome, thorough video!!

Great review and awesome shooting big fella . I think Hornady is onto a winner with the 6mm ARC . It will become popular in both ARs and bolt guns particularly for females and younger shooters for PRS matches .

Love your videos and patriotic soul. Please keep up the great work!

Can't wait to get my Faxon 16" SS NITRIDE 6 ARC heavy BARREL.

Damn with a 16 in barrel thou, this made you look like a rock star LOL. I am sold. I wish to see 6mm arc with a 1-8 or 1-10 scope shooting both very close range and long range hahaha

I'm gonna keep my Grendel for now! We have heard Hornaday's song and dance just a year ago. The all mighty Valkyrie, nope it's gonna take a lot more data to get this old Irishman to get off da pot of gold and a bandit my 6.5 Grendel. I'll keep eye open for the data and thank you KB.

That was Federal that brought us the Valk. Hornady has been doing very well with all its recent offerings. It’s a good thing when consumers have more choices, 6.5G is a sweet round for AR, the 6mm is looking good so far.

Love this round. My newest PRS bolt rifle is chambered in 6 ARC, and I'm currently building an AR in it for the semi auto division. Using JP Enterprises matched upper and lower, JP bolt carrier assy. 20" Proof Research barrel, Trigger Tech Diamond bang switch.

What a beautiful range!

Phenomenal shooting, KB32! That's a small target at 500.

I'm very glad that Hornady had the 6mm ARC standardized. That being said. We have a his and hers AR-15's. I'm gone from the house a lot. If the need arises for my wife to defend our home and family. I don't want her to worry about grabbing the 5.56 or 6mm ARC. Nor do I want to spend the time teaching/training her the difference between a 5.56 vs. 6mm ARC. I just need her to grab a AR-15. Go to work. With the correct magazine and ammunition. So if and when the time comes to build a "long range gas gun" I'm going with a AR-10 style rifle. Awesome video of the 6mm ARC. It's going to be a great small frame AR cardridge.

Cmmg is where it’s at! Keep that rifle!

I'm going to have to build a 6mm ARC upper only because the round closely mimics the very old 6mm Lee Navy. It will be fun comparing it to my brothers original Lee Navy on the range.

I believe this round may actually stay around, we will see. Looks like a lot of fun.

Nice looking rifle. That round is pretty funky. It does seem to have a little ass behind it. Stays consistent. I've been curious about that round , thanks for the video..

I have that exact rifle on order and will pick it up next week.

Yeah doesn't seem like you like that color. IF it were me I would raffle that to your subs.

It has, and it's popularity is growing. My PRS rifle is chambered in 6 ARC, love this round!

Played around with a 243 LBC. Very similar to this cartridge. Found that LBC to be stupid accurate with handloads using 8208 XBR. This cartridge, now having support will take off. CMMG should have tuned that rifle around that ammo, performance should produce 1/4 MOA. Harells precision tuneable break will dial that in

UINTAH, it's selling 6mm ARC bolt action uppers that will attach to AR15 lowers and also, sells complete rifles.

Been through Lewistown and Fredericksburg driving truck many times. Nice area down there

I already bought a JP bolt for the 6.5 grendel so I can build a 6mm ARC. I got a 20 inch Wilson Combat Super Sniper barrel in 223 Wylde but I am debating on putting it aside and finding a good 6mm ARC barrel. I should just wait until more companies start offering this chamber. Like Wilson Combat ;)

What I like about this setup is it is a 1000 yard gun out of a 16” barrel and standard AR-15 lower. Better for long distance than 6.5 Grendel. I like it a lot. Maybe one day...

Love the intro Hahahaha “get out my damn way”. Shout out to VIRGINIA!!!! We out here bruhhhhhh!!!!!

Impressive. Like the ballistics from a shorter barrel but do love my 6.5 Grendel.

I shoot a lot of Grendel and I’ve been waiting for someone to do this for a while. The bullet selection is way more than the Grendel and the velocity should be a little better. Ima keep my 12” and 18” Grendel but the 16” is getting a barrel swap to a faxon 18” 6mm arc barrel.

Looks like a beast of a round and rifle

I'm seriously jealous of your range

or, run a lighter bullet in 6.5 Grendel. The advantage is better mainstream support. Other than that, it's 6 in one-half dozen in the other with the Grendel. Grendel has steel case cheap ammo at least. 6mm ARC can also do really light bullets. im building a 6ARC, but its reallllly close to the same as Grendel.

@Nick Rodriguez Please. Stop. You are displaying your foolishness. 168 grain ELD Match ammo has a BC of .523. Fired out of a 22" barrel it has an actual velocity of about 2600 fps. At 500 the hold over for the .308 is 3.4 mils vs 3.4 mils for the ARC with 108gr bullets. At 800 yards the .308 has a hold over of 7.3 mils vs 7.2 for the ARC. At 1000 yards the .308 has a 10.7 mil hold over vs 10.5 for the ARC. At 1,200 yards the .308 has a hold over of 14.9 mils vs 14.6 for the ARC. Note: The .308 is using actual velocities from a 22" barrel and the ARC is using actual velocities from a 16" barrel. That's an entire 6" less barrel for the ARC and it matches it step for step. If you compare equal barrel lengths of 16" vs 16" the .308 will get 2450 fps velocity and will get smoked every time by the ARC--all while running it a regular small frame AR.

@C-Bomb Hornady didn't start any kind of an argument. They simply stated facts. Like I did above. That 108 grain round has very similar ballistics to a 22 inch barrel 308. It's just factual information that apparently some people don't understand or don't want to accept. Use any ballistics calculator you want and use real world data and post up what you get. In fact that goes for anyone trying to argue about it.

@jimyeats

4 жыл бұрын

Tyler, I don’t think anyone is arguing that the 308 is the more efficient cartridge. We know it isn’t. I think the point C Bomb was making is simply that it is not an apples to apples comparison. No matter how efficient it is, no matter how accurate it is, no matter how high speed low drag it is, there are simply some applications where a 108gr bullet isn’t going to cut it. If your intended use is to make a setup that is the size of an AR15, have long range capabilities that - out of a 16” barrel - are about as good as a 308, and can still probably kill a man when it gets there...then you are right, the 6mm ARC may end up being your best option assuming it lives up to the hype and also provides good terminal ballistics in lots of real life testing. No one is going to grab a 108gr bullet to go hunt Elk with though. It doesn’t matter whether every box of 6mm ARC comes with a free hand job, a 108gr bullet using the same construction as a 168gr counterpart is not going to penetrate as deeply or reliably through tough tissue.

@@jimyeats It's not made to be a big game hunting bullet. But that is coming. Hornady said they are doing some hunting rounds. The purpose of this is less weight than the AR10 with more rounds and better ballistics for the AR15. Better terminal results at 1000 to 1200 yards over the 5.56 with the same life for the barrel.

Awesome shooting, Kotaboy32. I love your boony hat , KB !!!!!! I have my father's boony hat, when he was in Vietnam. It's hanging in my room.

I fully believe this 6mm ARC is going to do for the MSR platform, what the 6.5 Creedmore did for the Bolt guns. True there are wildcat cartridges in 6mm made from the Grendel (also a great cartridge in its own) and it would have been easy for Hornady to go that route, but if you study the 6mm wildcats, the little extra space the (6mm AR for example) provide, it make the throat shorter and thus harder for longer more slender, higher BC bullets to seat properly and most efficiently. Plus having this SAAMI already with industry support. This caliber has legs and long ones.

The Grendel has designed with Hunting as its focus but can be great at target shooting. The 6mm ARC was designed for target/accurracy as primary but can also be used Hunting. The ARC is going to take off, but for most that have the Grendel there really isn't a need to switch. Love the Grendel but will be building a ARC. Ordered a Proof barrel will gather parts over time.

@joyroc885

This is true. Most people with grendel wont switch over cause of wolf ammo. :) How ever I think 6mm might be a little cheaper to reload for. I have a gredel and love it. I am thinking about building a 6mm arc sbr for I think the ballistics might be better than the 6.5G. Only weak spot for 6.5g and 6arc is reliable mags. Even the known good one can be a hit or miss. Probably only thing keeping me from making it my primary.

Just like my 243 except factory target ammo. A little slower than my 22" bolt rifle. But when they come out in bolt guns, might be close.

Awesome cartridge

Impressive

Consistent 1/2 MOA with my 20" S.S. fluted BCA barrel/upper, and I know my dope, using 107gr. BTHP, 123gr. ELD-M, and 129gr. SSTs. I'll stick with my Grendel for now. Thanks for the video. 🇺🇸

Just got my first reloading setup. If I start pressing lighter bullets for this caliber say a 75 grain V-max and run them through a 1:7 twist barrel will that have a negative effect on the lighter bullets performance vs a slower twist for lighter bullets which doesn’t seem to be a thing yet for this round?

The target surrendered and bow down to your greatness!

All I can say is get some Duramag’s in 6.5 Grendel. Also, some of the feeding issues some people have had is caused by their buffer spring weight apparently.

For your first AR, 5.56/223 makes a lot of sense and is the most economical. The AR-15 lower platform can then be used for several chamberings (22 Nosler, 224 Valkyrie, 6.5 Grendel, 6mm ARC, 300 Blackout) by swapping uppers. The AR-10 platform is bigger and designed for longer cartridges like 7.62/308 and many others. Some parts are compatible across both platforms, some only fit one or the other, and some parts are specific to the cartridge. Generally, the AR-15 is less expensive, more versatile, and spares are more widely available, but they are close. You really need to start by determining your needs, your priorities, and your wants, then look at cartridges and that will determine which rifle.

I'm still curious to see how far down they'll be able to scale this in barrel length. Best I could get was a velocity chart testing down to 12 inches, but that doesn't really tell much. Pretty sure this CMMG 16 incher is still the shortest barrel available, too.

I'm actually impressed that it has a velocity that good in a shorter barrel in light of a BC that high. Like the grendel this is going I really hold its speed well over distance, but unlike it it's going to start out with a lot more speed. Sure it's got less mass, but the 6.8 SPC and 300 blk have great reputations hunting with 110 gr bullets instead of 123s or 130s. And of course 77-110 gr bullets are fantastic on 2 legged critters.
