6ppc did great in a bolt gun at short range due to slow barrel twist rate. Pressure capacity of the bolt gun will out do pressure capacity of the gas gun lower limits. 6mm ARC does well in a bolt gun as well & does better at distance due to faster twist which handles longer higher BC bullets. Grendel does great as well with more momentum on target at short to mid range.
All good options for something & each crosses over to one degree or another.
I have been wanting for a fast twist 6ppc for a few decades for a long time. 6 Arc was the easy button for a fast twist 6mm ARC. Still taking too long to get ammo & firearms to market. I was more interested in a mini action bolt action 6mm ARC & a drop in Pac-nor barrel was my path to a 6mm ARC.
Never had a 6ppc. did a few CZ527's in 6.5 Grendel & have now done one 6mm Arc on the CZ 527 action. The lower recoil is favorably noticeable with the 6mm ARC & as a whitetail deer rifle I don't feel compromised whatsoever. Bullet selection is good for both, though IMHO the ARC is at an advantage here as well.
In an AR I am unsure if all of my bolt action experiences would transfer.
If you are not a reloader then Grendel, would be your better choice at this time IMHO.
