6mmARC Military Application

[A5BLASTER]

As you can see from the graph above, the 6mm ARC has better trajectory but the 6.5 Grendel has better energy – but not much. In fact, the jump in energy from 223/5.56 to 6mm ARC is more than the jump again to 6.5 Grendel.
It’s tough to pick a “winner” here without knowing your situation. If you already have a 6.5 Grendel or you want the most energy, then it’s probably 6.5 Grendel for you. However, if you’re looking at both to consider and you like the idea of low recoil and long range performance with more efficient bullets, you should get a 6mm ARC.

Less recoil than 6.5 Grendel.

Yes that's some gun writer talking.

I'm talking about what hornady and the DoD unit spec'd it for.

Your first post took things out of context and you worded it to sound like they designed it from the get go to have less recoil then grendel.

When infact they was never a design aspec. True it's going to have less recoil, it's shooting a lighter bullet then say the typical 123 weight class grendels typically shoot.

I'm talking about what hornady and the DoD unit spec'd. Grendel was never in that list.
