Hornady Team Discusses 6mm ARC

[Phred]

What a bunch of salesmen.

With all due respect, they're speaking so vaguely as for it to be meaningless. Let me understand, terminal ballistics at range (which he will not identify), a 105-ish grain 6mm starting at 2650 is going to exceed a 175 SMK 7.62 starting at 2500-ish (20" barrel)?

Let's run the numbers:
6ARC subsonic at 1050 w/274 lb-ft
7.62x51 subsonic at 950yds w/491 lb-ft

If you want to say it stays supersonic longer, then say that. If you want to say it's effective at longer ranges, than say that. But don't expect me to believe that 274 is more/better than 491. Don't expect me to believe that terminal performance is better, unless you mean beyond the range the 7.62 can hit. That would be better external ballistics, wouldn't it?

LOL Hornady wouldn't do that or take claim to someone else's design would they? Whitley has been making these things since 2006.
