What is 6mm ARC Ammo?

Developed by Hornady, the 6mm ARC was introduced to bring match-grade accuracy and ballistic efficiency to the AR-15 platform. It uses a 6.5 Grendel case necked down to accept a 6mm bullet—offering better long-range performance than 5.56 NATO, with less recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor.

• Typical Bullet Weights: 103–108 grain

• Effective Range: Up to 1,000 yards

• Muzzle Velocity: ~2,750–2,800 fps

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is 6mm ARC good for deer hunting?
A: Yes, with the right bullet choice. Hornady 103 gr ELD-X and other controlled expansion rounds provide excellent terminal performance on deer-sized game within 400–500 yards.

Q2: Can I shoot 6mm ARC in a 6.5 Grendel rifle?
A: No. While the cases are similar, 6mm ARC requires its own barrel and chamber. You can, however, use the same bolt and magazines designed for Grendel.

Q3: Is 6mm ARC ammo hard to find?
A: It was harder to source early on, but we now offer a consistent inventory of 6mm ARC ammo from top brands. Check back regularly or sign up for restock alerts.

Q4: What’s better—6mm ARC or 6.5 Grendel?
A: It depends on the use. ARC offers flatter trajectories and less recoil, while Grendel offers heavier bullets and more energy on target at shorter ranges.

Q5: How far can I shoot with 6mm ARC?
A: Effective range is up to 1,000 yards in capable hands and with quality loads. Most hunters and PRS shooters will use it comfortably out to 600–800 yards.
