Research notes
The 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge (ARC) is an intermediate rifle cartridge that Hornady launched in 2020. The caliber was designed for the AR-15 platform to offer militaries, law enforcement, and civilians a low-recoil caliber that maintains high accuracy and long-range effectiveness.
“…The versatile 6mm ARC does much of what larger cartridges can and everything that smaller cartridges can’t. Designed to meet the needs of the world’s toughest critics, the 6mm ARC utilizes efficient, high-BC bullets to deliver unprecedented performance from the AR-15 platform. Commercial 6mm ARC offerings will feature bullets selected to deliver ideal performance for hunting, match shooting and personal protection applications.” - Hornady
