I remember reading a test from WW2 era. Author noted that a .30-06 could NOT penetrate 12 inches of oak at 50 yards, but at 200 yards it could penetrate about 36". At the time, they considered this kind of penetration a good thing.
They first looked at 6.5 Grendel as the most obvious solution to their problem, but developed 6ARC because it had better external ballistics than 6.5 Grendel.
It is also claimed in Hornady's YouTube podcast at 15:14 HERE that the 6ARC has BETTER wound ballistics than 7.62x51.
