charliesclones ever few years a new round comes out that promises to change everything. Few do. Many have been hyped and never gained traction. Some have, while the 7.62 and 5.56 NATO still stand. This 6mm ARC might have a chance. 9 likes
- silenciomofo @charliesclones i think itll do well. 2 likes
- 81tactical @charliesclones agreed, my next build is gonna be a 6ARC build, literally just need the barrel and bcg; I have every other part just sitting and waiting (receiver set is just an Aero FDE M4E1 set and a 13.4" BCM MCMR handguard, and of course the extra MBT2 I have) 2 likes
- bdclone @charliesclones I have been following the development some. Its near 308 performance out of an AR-15, less energy than 308 under 500yds but better performance out past 500 and still super sonic out past 1,000, and half the recoil. 4 likes
- outof_theoffice_ @bdclone so basically a 6.5 CM?? 😂
- bdclone @outof_theoffice_ yeah but you get it in a AR15 package instead of AR-10 or LR308
- outof_theoffice_ @bdclone thank you for the clarification, I didn't know that. What's the difference between a 15/10? They seem nearly identical to me aside from barrel and bolt face, no?
- bdclone @outof_theoffice_ weight and size. Some of the lower reciever parts are interchangeable between the 2 but everything is bigger on the 10.... recievers, bcg, buffer, barrel, handguards. Then there is bigger mags and heavier ammo. From a military perspective getting 308 or 6.5 performance in a smaller lighter package is huge. 1 like
- outof_theoffice_ @bdclone ty! Great explanation.

- joseph5myers @martycandoit. I was one of those people who shot various 300 magnums for years. The biggest thing I have now is a 6.5 PRC and I shoot my Grendel and 5.56 the most. Spending the day shooting Prairie dogs with a 300 Winmag ends up taking the fun out of it. I don't care what any one chooses to shoot but myself personally have no desire to get beat up by rifles anymore. 5 likes
- martycandoit @joseph5myers I'm in Utah. Moose, Elk, deer, coyote is probably smallest. 1 like
- joseph5myers @martycandoit I live in Montana, I have not shot a Moose but I have shot Elk and Bison. I have come to the conclusion from my own experience and watching others that there is not an animal walking in North America that can not be killed with a 6.5 Creedmoor. I say this mostly because lower recoil lends itself to more practice and better accuracy. Accuracy in my mind is better than power. Cost is also a factor especially now. Weight has also become a factor as I get older also. Some how I went from running up mountains with a radio in my ruck and carrying an M60 to my 7 pound rifle feeling heavy 😒 3 likes
- martycandoit @joseph5myers well, it sounds like I need to look into a 6.5. You pretty much sold me on it. Thanks for making the time brother!

- cjrollins7 @bdclone 😂😂😂 did you hand load these yourself 😅
- bdclone Negative, @discreet.ballistics did an initial offering with 300gr subsonic target loadings. 2 likes
- cjrollins7 @bdclone price consistent with 65cm?
- bdclone No clue what 6.5 costs. I imagine that it may cost a little more in commercial offerings because of the bigger bullets. These were $3 a bullet. Discreet loads for different barrel lengths and twist rates so I would expect to pay extra for more personalized loads. For 300blk I have hunting/defense loads for a 7 inch barrel and for a 16 inch barrel. They also have different loadings for bolt vs AR platforms. 1 like
- cjrollins7 @bdclone wow! Didnt realized it was going to be that specific. I'm most likely going something in the the AR flavor
kevin.mcglothlin.078 I want a 6mm arc
aaronedwards843 I have your upper and lower with a proof 6 arc barrel. Sub moa all day. Can you make a 20" barrel instead of a 6.5 Grendel?

- msskalsky @laruetactical coyote hunters want a 18-20" 10" to run 55-75gr. Shooting 105-108 that slow makes it just another worthless "hunting" caliber. Good slow plinker but not much else. 1 like

- msskalsky @laruetactical 8" for the current factory loadings, 10" for the future "hopefully" practical hunting application.
- laruetactical @msskalsky ... Is that cause you want to push the lightest bullets available fast as they'll go ? 1 like
- msskalsky @laruetactical correct. Faster Projectiles will expand upon impact. Projectiles like 105-108 are going to slow at the muzzle, they don't expand upon impact and pencil through animals. 1 like

- msskalsky @dustinwrona no 6arc can't push them fast enough to spin them apart. But it will Crete pressure switch a faster twist, and loose velocity. 1 like

- dustinwrona @msskalsky how much velocity do you expect to gain? It's minimal considering the loss of versatility shooting more weights. 1 like
- msskalsky @dustinwrona on arch I'm not sure yet haven't compared the 2. But on a 223 for example. 8" shooting 55gr 20" barrel, I get 3251fps, shot the same 20" with my 10" I get 3375. This is strictly for coyote hunting rifle. I don't care to shoot heavy loads. So velocity gain is huge on a 0-350 yard thermal rifle. Now if I was long range plinking, I'd agree with you. But for my hobby I want 10" 1 like
