I shoot paper only. I can't decide if I need an 6mm arc maybe you can help me to decide. Is the little bit of speed worth it between the 6mm or the 6.5
I’ve had a Grendel for years, as well as a 6mm Grendel variant. For paper I’d chose the 6mm Arc.

The 6 arc is doing much better then the 6.5cm did, and it's doing it in the worst possible time.Personally, I'm a little disappointed at the slow start that the 6mm ARC is having. From the same company who marketed the hell out of the 6.5 Creedmoor, I'm surprised that they're not pushing the ARC harder. Still very limited factory rifles being produced in this caliber and few aftermarket barrels as well. But I realize that aftermarket barrels are pretty limited in a lot of other calibers right now too.
For me, I would not be pulling the trigger on anything ARC related until I see how this plays out a little longer. Right now, I don't feel comfortable investing the caliber yet.
Im really intrigued by the 6 ARC. My only concern is of it's longevity. The Grendel has been out for a long time now. Hopefully the 6 ARC doesnt go the way of the 224 Valkyrie but I got a few buddies that got burned on the 224.
There's a few good reasons there is so much 224V available.In what way? I'm curious. At Ammoseek there's considerably more .224 Valkyrie available there is 6.5 G, a shocking amount in fact. Is there some fashion in which .224 Valkyrie isn't supported?
I guess I've not seen that. I haven't seen the marketing push from Hornady. I haven't seen much in the way of advertisement in the gun rags or the YouTube influencers. As a dealer, I'm not see any push from distributors or reps. I'm just not seeing much at all for this cartridge.The 6 arc is doing much better then the 6.5cm did, and it's doing it in the worst possible time.

My variant is the 6 mm 40 AR Turbo. I expect it’s got a little more speed than the Arc, but readily available ammo, brass and dies would certainly trump the speed advantage
