Apparently, the new 6mmARC officially released today, June 3, 2020 was originally developed at the request of an unnamed, but well-known, U.S. military unit.
This is not the same as the bogus hype that surrounded the early days of the 6.8 SPC this is the real deal.
See Guns & Ammo video HERE.
Are the Blooded Warriors and Vile Unwashed Masses of the Grendel Horde surprised? No.
We always knew that within the constraints of the AR15 receiver and magazine package, that a short, fat cartridge case with sleek, long-for-caliber bullets was the optimum military solution.
The 5.56 is obsolete. The 6.8 SPC is dead. The 224 Valkyrie is stillborn. The 6.5 Grendel is very proud of its favorite son.
(With development, the 6.5 Grendel could still challenge the 6mmARC. For example, I've got a 6.5mm 120gr bullet design with an estimated 0.595 G1 BC that just needs capitalizing.)
Three Hornady 6mmARC videos HERE.
[FONT=&]The 6mmARC is a brand-new cartridge that we developed to meet a need for a Department of Defense entity that wanted something that would replace their current platform which was based off of a .308 or 7.62 cartridge. Neil Davies, Hornady Marketing Director.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]They were looking for an option which allows guys to get from point A to point B with as light a kit as possible. So we were looking for something that would match up with, or provide better than, .308 ballistics that utilized an AR15-style platform. Scott Javins, Hornady LE/Military Product Manager[/FONT]
[FONT=&]What we found was we were able to build something thats unique, fits in the platform they want, and meets the requirements they asked for. I was there the first time they shot it. And to have somebody from the military actually pull the trigger and then look at you and smile and say, That things awesome! that gets me excited. Jason Hornady, Hornady Vice President
And if the military in all of its NGSW research truly thinks ultra-high chamber-pressure cartridges are a good idea I'm dubious then apply that technology to the 6mmARC. Wicked.
