    Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but what does the 6mm ARC give that the 6.5 Grendel doesn't?

    Speed, higher BC and retained energy.
    Equal bullet weight comparison as follows:
    6.5 grendel with 107gr TMK, 2550fps

    6mm grendel with 108gr ELDM 2700fps

    Faster, flatter trajectory, better sectional density, better BC. Military application (which it's designed for) better penetration
