Negative -- not disagreeing with him. My reasoning comes from shooting a Grendel in HP for a year or so and seeing my scores plummet. Switched to a 6 AR and my scores went back up immediately.
Given the conditions he stated, I won't disagree with him.
Just note that he did identify the lack of factory loads for the 6 ARC as a problem. It is a handloading proposition and a cartridge primarily intended for PRC matches. Adapted to hunting? Sure can with a decent 6mm hunting bullet.
The choice of a round of ammo for hunting is individual. I am not necessarily of the old school where bigger is better but for feral hogs I would go for a bigger bullet than 6mm.
It is not an easy task to get a cartridge into the market. The Grendel has done really well for itself because it performs in an AR-15 and has a variety of bullets and now a variety of factory loads.
