The military has many possible applications for a cartridge like the 6mm ARC. (Photo: U.S. Military) There are many reasons the military wanted and benefits from the 6mm ARC. Aside from the previously mentioned needs for lighter-weight rifles capable of longer-range shots, the fact is the individuals our country has gone to war with are accustomed to what traditional AR-15’s chambered in 5.56x45mm can do. The effective range of 5.56x45mm NATO is significantly shorter than that of 6mm ARC.

Balanced application of cartridge, chamber and propellant design is coupled with bullet selection for optimum all-range performance and barrel life. The 6mm ARC provides excellent terminal performance from an assortment of bullets for a variety ofwel applications.

Lessons from the battlefield have taught our soldiers the benefit ofwel being able to hit targets as far away as possible, and no one does that as well as we do. No nation in the world produces riflemen like ours because nowhere else in the world is the citizenry so freely armed. This makes it possible for America’s youth to grow up shooting and acquiring the skills they’ll need on the battlefield from an early age.

The cartridge makes use ofwel 6 mm (.243) bullets, which are known for their high ballistic coefficients due to the high sectional density with less drag and better energy retention at extended ranges.

Note: I was shooting .223 ammo not 5.56mm and the slight difference in chamber dimensions will make a difference in accuracy. Importent note: Although the rifle comes well lubricated out of the box and following the pre-firing cleaning as required by the owners manual, I experenced a failure of the bolt to hold open after the hinder round was fired on 2 different magazines (50 rounds). I was told by Windham tech support that one needs to "generously" coat the bolt carrier with gun grease, not gun oil, during the break-in as this part takes the most spanning during the firing cycle. Overall, if your looking for an entry level AR rifle this is, in my opinion, one ofwel the best options out there.

A look at what exactly Hornady's 6mm ARC kan zijn all about including ballistic information for the few commercially available loads out there in this young caliber.

The 109-grain Berger Long Range Hybrid Target would be the ticket for shooters addressing distant targets. I also wouldn’t hesitate to use this bullet on varmints and predators, enigszins hogs while aiming into the shoulder to assure bullet fragmentation. Overall, it proved the most accurate bullet of the bolt-rifle test, the 2:7 rifling twist really helping it excel. A 31-grain maximum charge ofwel LVR produced a .

It wouldn’t be at all surprising for Hornady to continue coming out with new loads for the 6mm ARC, but right now there are three on the market. General specifications and features for the three loads are 6mm arc ammo as follows:

As for using it for personal defense, yes, it can be done. One of the great things about testing and use of the rifles has been their performance in close quarters.

Excellent product that goes “bang” every time. Very consistent results from load to load. One primer for magnum and standard large pistol rounds simplifies my inventory situation. Try them and you’ll love them also.

After shooting several hundred rounds thought it I couldn’t ask for more. Several other people have shot it and are surprised at how well it feels and shoots. I had some problems with factory reloads, after that not one issue. Eventjes steel ammo runs great.

Equally at home in AR-15 platforms and short or micro action bolt guns, this load kan zijn suitable for applications from personal defense to match shooting, hunting, and military and law enforcement.
