Oh man...can not wait!!!

So I contacted Legacy Sports today expressing my interest in a Howa Mini Action in 6mm ARC. This was the reply.

Paul ~ Good afternoon, I hope all is well. Yes this caliber has been in discussions, and Hornady has provided us with Samples for the 6mm ARC

Thank You,

It will take a lot of trimming. I had to trim all of the virgin Hornady 6.5 G brass I use for .243 LBC due to the brass flow from sizing the neck down. Bumping the shoulder down to 6mm ARC will result in more brass flowing up.....

With Hornady running this, they'll price their 6mmARC brass the same as their 6.5 Grendel brass.

I wouldn't hassle with trying to convert Grendel brass by bumping the shoulder back 0.030 and necking down.

It's really not that difficult to do.

My 26 cal wildcat has to be bumped alot and trimmed down a ton.

Helps I have a Frankford case prep center.

On the 3rd of June Hornady has a new product announcement. So maybe it’s the 6mmARC.

3 more days


6mm ARC - BluntForceTrauma - 06-01-2020

I believe it's scheduled for the 4th of June, but it is DEFINITELY the 6mmARC announcement. Somebody pointed out the background graphics of the video are barely disguised parts of the letters A-R-C.

Can't wait to get my grubby hands on a 12 inch barrel.

So special op's has this round. So I guess the grendel case did when the cartridge war against the 6.8 lmao.


6mm ARC - kmon - 06-03-2020

About time they got around to releasing this one


6mm ARC - hill37 - 06-03-2020

Surprised Ruger wasn't on the manufacturers list.


6mm ARC - am4966 - 06-03-2020

So 24” barrel you’ve got 2750 fir speed. What does that give you in a 18” n 20” AR? This looks like the perfect round to complement my 12” Grendel....so a 18”-20” upper!

I think it was guns and ammo that I seen a vid from just a few mints ago saying he was getting 2700 with the match factory ammo from his 20 inch arc.

Several vids up on YouTube already.

Only actual barrel I can find is at Brownell's.... OEM and Ballistic Advantage

6mm ARC - Popeye212 - 06-03-2020

Looks like Proof Research has em for $950 and Brownells had one listed also. Not crazy about another set of Hornady dies thought. Haven't checked Redding. Hornady Die set #546251 but nobody has em apparently.


6mm ARC - A5BLASTER - 06-03-2020

Midsouth shooters website has a bunch of talking point vids on their website made by hornady, if anyone is interested in seeing them.


6mm ARC - StoneHendge - 06-03-2020

I just renamed my .243 LBC a 6mm ARC Turbo given its increased powder capacity Wink

Now that right there is FUNNY!

Just got an email from Brownells about it.
