CMMG Chambers the 6 mm ARC

From Chevalier Advertising

CMMG has added Hornady’s 6 mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) to its Resolute and Endeavor families of rifles. Designed and engineered for accuracy and performance in the versatile AR-15 platform, the 6 mm ARC’s ballistic performance makes it ideal for precision shooting, hunting, military/law enforcement and recreational shooting.

The Hornady 6mm ARC is a short-action cartridge designed to push the limits. Based on the 6.5 Grendel cartridge case, the 6 mm ARC was designed to achieve comparable ballistics to the AR-10 in .308 Win., all while operating in a 30 percentl ighter system.

For shooters and hunters who need to reach further distances, the 6mm ARC will be available in 108-grain ELD Match (match ammo), delivering a muzzle velocity of 2,750 fps and the 103-grain ELD-X (precision hunter ammo) with 2,800 fps. Less felt recoil provides both shooters and hunters the ability to stay on target after making the shot and the potential for quicker follow-up shots with the AR-15.

CMMG Resolute and Endeavo 100, 200 and 300 Series come with a rifle-length gas system on both the 16-inch Resolute barrel and 20-inch Endeavor barrel. This allows for the rifles to have less felt recoil and lower extraction force, reducing wear and tear

Resolute rifles will have a MSRP ranging from $1,049.95 to $1,649.95 (series pending) and the Endeav rifles with a MSRP ranging from $1,049.95 to $1,799.95 (series pending). CMMG 6 mm ARC rifles will be available from CMMG’s website, stocking dealers, qualified retailer stores and their websites.

Both rifles ship with one 10-round detachable box magazine.

Finding the right cartridge for long distance can be a challenge, but the experts I interviewed provided some sound advice.
