Hornady's 6mm ARC. Who's all in?

[Hambo]

22 Creedmore, 22ARC... I'm kind of hoping they would simply make some ammo available for us non reloaders.

If you buy anything chambered for a new cartridge and you want to shoot it long term, I recommend buying dies for it.

What should come as no shock to anyone is that Hornady has just announced the 22 ARC. It is in essence the 6mm necked down.

Soon to be followed by .20 and .17 ARC and 6.35mm and 7mm ARC. Maybe 7.62 and 8mm ARC as well....

I LOL'd at that.

No love for the quarter-bore from Hornady!

I bought a BCG/bolt with the thought of running a 6 ARC, but I just never built one. I am really looking towards the 6mm MAX but I am going to wait on that. SOLGW said that Starline has already committed to making the brass.

Heh. I laugh.

It started (I think) with the 220 Russian case (5.6x39), which was used to create the 22PPC and 6mmPPC. The PPC case was adapted to the 6.5 Grendel. Which led to Hornady to adapt the Grendel case to 6mmARC, and finally the 22 ARC. Full circle.

If you go to forums like accurateshooter.com / 6mmBR.com you will find that wildcatters love to invent and reinvent similar cartridges. I’m am guilty of this, and currently undergoing therapy. Group therapy.

Hornady acknowledges that the 6 ARC was not entirely a novel idea. They also acknowledge that this new .22 ARC is essentially a SAAMi version of the .22 Grendel.

A bit more on the new 6mm Max

Good video!

I like the 6ARC. I set up two of them, plus I have a 224 Predator. Similar to the new 22 ARC. I like shooting them. For my needs, they are great.

I'm actually more interested in the 6ARC Geissele than a 6.5CM repeater. Which is good, since the equivalent Geissele 6.5CM gun is $6500.
