6mmARC Military Application

[OneHitWonder]

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.

We can speculate because the DOD did not release the specs for the order. We have rumors of replacing the 5.56 uppers with Grendel from 2017. We have rumors of SF using grendels in Afghanistan.

The we have the facts. Recoil is at least 20% lighter with the 108gn 6arc than the 123gn Grendel.
