This video introduces the new Hornady 6mm ARC cartridge, highlighting its key features and benefits. Paul Levy explains that the 6mm ARC offers a 1,000-yard effective range while being compatible with the standard AR-15 platform, eliminating the need for larger .308-sized rifles. The cartridge's design, similar to the accurate 6mm PPC, is derived from the 6.5mm Grendel case, utilizing the same bolt and magazines. Existing 6.5 Grendel rifle owners can convert to 6mm ARC by simply changing the barrel. The video also notes that bullets suitable for 6mm Creedmoor are likely to perform well in 6mm ARC, and mentions two initial factory loads from Hornady: a 108-grain ELD Match and a 105-grain Black. Barrel manufacturers Faxon and Ballistic Advantage are already producing barrels, and its SAAMI specification ensures future availability of ammunition, barrels, and complete uppers.
