New for 2023, the 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridg New for 2023, the 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) 103 Gr. ELD-X®
was developed by our friends at Hornady to provide increased performance in the M4/AR-15 platform. With the best 5.56 ammunition the M4/AR-15 is hard to beat, but the new 6 ARC has significant advantages.

The 6 ARC pushes a 103 grain Hornady ELD-X® at 2600 fps from an 18” barrel. Due to the higher ballistic coefficient and weight of the projectile, it beats the best 5.56mm ammunition in terms of retained energy and reduced wind drift at all ranges. The trajectory is nearly identical to 500 yards, and past that range the 6 ARC clearly has the advantage!

This load is purpose built for the lighter and handier AR-15. More power, same package, what’s not to like?

New for 2023, the 6.5 PRC 143 Gr. ELD-X®! The 6. New for 2023, the 6.5 PRC 143 Gr. ELD-X®!

The 6.5 PRC was designed by George Gardner of GA Precision working with our friends at Hornady. We chose to load this cartridge with the Hornady 143 grain ELD-X®. This bullet combines high B.C. and great match level accuracy with the terminal performance of a really good long range hunting bullet.

New for 2023, the 6.5 PRC 143 Gr. ELD-X! Think of New for 2023, the 6.5 PRC 143 Gr. ELD-X!

Think of this as a “step up” from the 6.5 Creedmoor, one of the most popular new cartridges of the past decade. The 6.5 PRC pushes the modern 6.5 high BC projectiles another 250 fps faster and with comparable accuracy. Comparisons can be made to the 264 Winchester Magnum, the 6.5-06 and one of our favorites, the 6.5-284. Ballistics with these calibers were similar, but the 6.5 PRC has advantages over all of them!
