So I have an aero m4e1 lower and sn aero upper sitting around. I just finished a 16" grendel, my first. I have another ar15 in 5.56 already. I'm debating building this into either a 20" grendel or a 20" 6mm arc. Would love to hear opinions ions. Not sure if it's worth diving into reloading for yet another caliber to reload

This is most on line whith how I feel at the moment. Not a ton of long range shooting here. Mostly deer hunting. The fact that 6arc brass is non existent and I would rely on factory ammo to build a brass supply is a major deterent. I don't really need anything as the stables are pretty full, but why have an unused upper and lower laying around lol *as well as a vg6 65 epsilon). Maybe a 20" grendel gets the nod to compliment the 16"Comment

Again not much steel punching here in VA where I'm at. Now that being said I mostly deer hunt with occasional predator hunting. I guess I would feel more at ease jumping into the 6mm if things were more readily available. Don't seem like the grendel gives up much to the arc. So in reality does a 20" grendel serve a purpose over a 16"Comment

What is it you are wanting the rifle to do, or not do. Arc will offer lighter & Higher BC bullet offerings, in turn less recoil, more velocity & flatter shooting all else being equal & all will not be equal between two cartridges. 6.5 Grendel will offer More momentum & energy on target.Originally posted by Mebe007 View Post
My personal experience will differ from your use in that I have used both cartridges in only bolt action rifles with 22" barrels. In this case my preference has been heavy for the 6mm ARC for many reasons. My use is target shooting geared towards deer hunting inside of 300 yards. ARC offers all I need on target with less recoil, A flatter bullet path & a wider bullet selection compatible for the cartridge, as a reloader.Last edited by SDguy; 01-08-2023, 02:25 PM.Comment
