Thread: 6mm ARC - What would yours look like

The 6ARC comes as a package with COAL inside AR length but accommodating a much heavier bullet than the 6mm PPC. The package has a fast twist barrel unlike the PPC . Its commercialised and standardised which is great. I guess they are trying to overcome the low velocity drawback of cartridges like the 6.8SPC and 6.5Grendel.

In a bolt gun it must have a short barrel 18” at the most but prefrably 16. If you go yo 20” you are better off to use a 16” 243 or 6Creed which will give far better exterior and terminal ballistics.

It remains to be seen whether they will get the kinetic energy needed for hunting out of a short barrel and whether they have made a bullet that will expand well enough at a low impact velocity like 1600fps.

The howa carbon sporter looks nice. I dont know THE answer for scopes but you’ll need some finesse to place the bullet beyond 100m. Its shoot small or go home. Yet it will be mostly a bush gun so low end low light performance is important.
