This New Military Round Is Insane...

- The 6MM ARC is a wild newer round that is being developed primarily at the request of the Military. But like all things we get the benefits of having this round on the market. The 6MM ARC is compelling because it can fit in a small frame AR while having extended ranges up to 1200 yards.

You can’t run from the flannel forever, Mike. We remember
😂
Bring the flannel back!
In an alternate universe, Mike never served and has a TH-cam called the flannel channel. I prefer this one but it’s a fun concept
He needs to do a collab flannel with Dixxon. I’ve got a shocking amount of their flannels.
Honestly, the bandana should always be flannel.
my man starting to evolve from flannel daddy to woods form COD
😂 Bro looks like Snake
He really does look like Woods from Blops 1
This is Solid Snake
*Mashes B*
According to my headcanon the flannel is underneath the LARP threads. Like a reverse superman. He gets home, pulls into his garage, closes the door, makes sure nobody is looking, flexes and the chest tears open to reveal the tartan underneath like "dad mode, engaged"
For those of you that might be building your own 6mm ARC upper: some of the barrels out there actually have the gas block out at a farther position than rifle length. If your 18" (or longer) barrel comes with a gas block and gas tube, this might be the case. In my case, the gas block stuck out about an inch passed the 15" handguard that I intended to use, and it took me a lot of searching to find a handguard that was long enough to cover the gas block, but not so long that it got in the way of the muzzle device. I eventually found a 16.5" from Hera Industries that does the job.
Good info.
I wonder if an Adjustable Gas Block would tame the recoil a bit.
Or you can just leave the gas block exposed.
Having the gas block forward of the handguard is sexy. IE MK12
I like Hera's quad rail.
One of my favourite things is when Micha trolls mike and leaves in some awkward/ unnecessary footage.
Because you know mike is just as surprised as we are by it
Any plans to continue with the "Becoming deadly" series? Those were what really made the channel unique.

I've been on the 6ARC bandwagon for a minute now and I am blown away with the performance. I keep telling my buddies to pick one up but they have to see to believe. I see no use for a large frame for my needs going forward, huge 6ARC fan!
Welcome to the club! The 6 ARC came out in 2020 and it's become my favorite round to shoot. Hitting targets at long range with no recoil puts a smile on my face every time.
What is really crazy is the US navy used the Lee Navy rifle in 6mm all the way back in 1895, and they even made arguments that this was the future of bullet technology that small high velocity rounds out perform larger slower bullets in tissue disruption etc. This is in a era when some guns still shot giant 11mm bullets and German Mausers would adopt 7.92x57. The US was too ahead of the curve at the time, problems manufacturing the ammo and the expensive complex Lee Navy rifles droomed widespread adoption, but it's wild to think engineers were that forward thinking all the way back then. They would feel very vindicated today with the way cartridge technology has progressed.
It's all about the tissue disruption broham!
It's all about the tissue disruption broham!
6.5x55 Swedish (1894), 6.5 Jap (1897), 6.5 Carcano (1890), 6.5 Mannlicher (1892) etc... To nail something so close to the invention of smokeless powder only to semi-abandon it seems odd like you said, but if I had to guess it was because of the ever present logistical desire of militaries for ammo parity between arms, and the notion arose that a smaller bullet like 6mm would be insufficient in its role as an emplaced or light machine gun caliber, so they scaled everything up, with small arms following. Just a guess...
Things come full circle eventually in ballistics. There's lots of great advancement in ballistic technology, but physics are always the constant in that equation.
Hmm...
can we just have a moment to recognize I would never want Micha to shoot at me.

Also, the cameraman never dies. So He essentially has aims and Godmode. Silly combo irl.

we need Micah lore
The only thing that amazes me is that it took the DOD this long to finally look at a .243 platform. I know it’s always a trade off between capacity and punch, but .243 has always been a proven deer hunting performer.
It honestly doesn't surprise me one bit, going back to the days of teddy Roosevelt and the rough riders facing bolt action mausers with trapdoor Springfield rifles our ordinance dept has always been behind on weaponry... They replaced the trapdoor single shots with the already obsolete 30/40 krag, panicked and copied the mauser 98 for the most part, they ended up paying a royalty on every 03 made to mauser due to patent infringement. They also screwed up the heat treat in the process which resulted in brittle actions that liked to shatter. It's been a clusterfokk since day one!
Absolutely
I had a 6mm ARC 20" that really dived deep on with bolt manufacturing materials and reloading.
Hornady claims about 2750ft/s out of an 18" barrel. I have found that their statements are false, as shown on Mike's video there too. The flaw with this cartridge is that there are 2 SAAMI Specifications for 6mm ARC. One for semi-autos (ARs at 52k PSI), and one for bolt actions (62k PSI). The reasoning behind this is that the enlarged rim diameter compared to a 5.56, a 6mm ARC (which uses 6.5 grendel as parent case, and therein a 6.5grendel type 2 bolt) cannot exceed 52k PSI and will have too much bolt thrust force imparted onto the AR bolt locking lugs. This is the same for 6.5 grendel bolts. This is something that's been documented and known. If a manufacturer were to find whatever secret sauce metallurgy Ruger does in their SFAR (a small frame AR15 patterned rifle that shoots .308) and pair it with a 6mm ARC, I think they'd really be improving the cartridge-firearm system for reliability, and to handle the hotter loadings rearward forces. I would really encourage flannel daddy to really give the firearm a hard run to see how many rounds it would take to start seeing bolt lug sheering.
Back to the difference of PSI, Semi-Auto according to SAAMI is rated for 52k PSI, and Bolt Actions are 62k PSI. This is on hornady's reloading database. Please note that when you purchase a box from Hornady, neither say whether it's specific for Bolt Actions or Semi-Autos. So, being the devious little creature I am, I buy a box of factory Hornady 108gr ELD-M and a box of Hornady 105gr BTHP "black" - same ammo flannel daddy shot. I set aside 5 bullets from each box of 20 to disassemble and measure everything about the cartridge, including the round, powder charge, the weights, length of brass, so on. I then calibrated a model on Gordon's Reloading Tool, and shot rounds to have it match up accordingly. What I found is that both of these rounds are at about 55-58k PSI depending on ambient temperature. that's 3-6k over SAAMI specifications for semi-autos, which is what this round is more commonly used for.
As for the pressure issues aside, finding an adequate powder to get those single digit SDs those long range shooters desire is fairly difficult for higher grain bullets 95gr to 115gr and still getting decent velocity and complete powder burn. Many many times I've seen even out of my 20" 6mm Arc, getting incomplete powder burn with the typical high velocity loadings. That gives it velocity variations, and leads to vertical stringing - taking the shooter out of the equation. This cartridge really does shine though when using lower grain projectiles from 90gr and below, getting really nice results, even exceeding 3,000ft/s in some instances. Coyote and hog hunters in particular like this round for its effectiveness.
TL;DR:
PSI too hot for semi. Bolt go boom.
small weight bullet good.
Cheers from an autist.
I bow to your 'tism. Thank you.
Leverevoloution
@@steveelder5306 still not complete burn at temps below 75°F. Does get nice velocities though. Incredibly temp instable powder. I live in AK, and so that powder can be over pressured at 115°F and getting complete burn, but at any temps below 75°F, it falls flat on its face.
I had actually contacted CMMG in regards to this when I found out they were releasing a rifle in 6mm ARC. I asked if they planned to use the Mutant PowerBolt to utilize the larger 308 style bolt head to handle the stronger PSI of this cartridge to get the most out of what Hornady stated in it's advertisements.
Unfortunately they decided to go the same route as everyone else when building around this cartridge. To me they really missed out on an opportunity given they have the equipment to build a perfect semi auto rifle for the 6mm ARC.
I checked the SAAMI spec for a reference to the 62K PSI spec you talked about and was unable to find it. Could you provide a reference SAAMI year and page number?

You should compare the 6.5 Grendel 18” barrel vs the 6 ARC
Would love to see this comparison
Yup, the Grendel handles a wider range of bullet weights and hits harder. I won't deny the ARC makes a good paper puncher but if you want something for taking game then use a bigger caliber like the Grendel.
AR-10 in 308. 30 cal still RULES...In both effectiveness and cost.
Stop feeding the Hornady coffers with their latest "Round of the Week"
@@robertkeller9828I gave you thumbs up. With Starline Brass and 107 MatchKings, the cost difference is minimal. I have both. I prefer the ARC
This is exactly why I came to the comments. I want to know how they compare. Ballistically, size, weight, velocity, etc they’re very similar. Grendal on the other hand is cheaper and more readily available.
I'm sure some has corrected the comment at 23:20 regarding the upper. The AR upper works fine, and a 6ARC barrel fits fine as well as the BCG. You do need to change the bolt to the 6.5 Grendel size bolt. This is also the weak spot for the 6ARC as bolts do break on occasion. Built my 6ARC gasser a couple of years ago and enjoy it so much that this week I took possession of a Howa Mini-1500 6ARC bolt gun.
@OlTrailDog the GFR upper isn't the same as a milspec AR upper. A GFR barrel will not fit in a milspec AR upper.

Haven't looked back from three yrs ago. Have a Carbon Proof 18" barrel on mine. It reloads very well. LOTS of bullet options. Using bullets in the 80-90 grn range for PD including the V-Max which gets me in the 3K vicinity. Berger Hybrids in 105, 109 for long range. You have the perfect scope on it as well. Best tactual ever made, and one of my overall favorite. If I had one gripe, it would be the hollowed out bolt head. Sides are VERY thin. Bought a JP, and no problems so far. store an extra in my grip.
Would be interesting to see a comparison between something like 6 ARC, 6.5G, and 6.8 SPC. Maybe include a segment on 16 vs ~11.5 in a similar format as this video.

6.5 Grendel from 2003: 🤨
yup...this was meant to use 6.5 Gren bolts and mags but improve on it, and with less recoil. Hornady just stole the idea, changed bullet diameter for less recoil, and rebranded it lol
I wondered if this was / was similar to a 6grendel
The Grendel has more powder because of a shorter bullet, but it's not a high BC bullet with long range wind control. If you want more powder with a higher BC bullet, Hornady also gave us the 22 ARC, whitch is 22-250 performance out of a short barrel AR.
@@terrywright93086.5 Grendel matches bc and even beats bc of 6mm in most loadings.Problems is, to do it, it has to give up muzzle velocity. Hornady said 6mm was the sweat spot of velocity and bc for the limited powder available in ar15. That’s is why they necked down 6.5 Grendel to 6mm
@@terrywright9308 nonsense...6.5G BC is incredibly efficient.

You can do a 6arc build with a standard AR upper receiver, its just the bolt face that is different. Uses a 6.5 grendel bolt. Maybe Geissele makes a specific upper receiver for 6arc, but if you're putting one together yourself it doesn't require anything special besides the bolt and barrel.
I caught that too. Everything is the same minus barrel and bolt.

You sure, he said Geissele enough to have a drinking game. Also Daniel Defense build essentially noting it takes a special upper, which is false.
Damn I was hoping that Garand Thumb wouldn't legitimize this cartridge so I wouldn't have to build one but here we are...
Legitimize? Varmint dudes jumped on this immediately, at least nearly everyone i know and most of their aquaintances. Its a DOD gun also. Imo its gonna be hard to beat it in small frame if you remove the ammo avail factor. My personal builds in it are spot on awesome. Tuned to shoot butter soft and tac drivers. As is with most of the varmint crowd that grabbed it too. The new 6 max cartridge is pretty great too for lighter projectiles. 22 arc has also lit off in the varmint crowd, same as 6 arc, everyone ik, and their friends has or is in the process of it also.
Is it the be all, end all for a fighting rifle? I dont think so, but it has its place for sure.

6 arc is pretty cool I think. The factory offerings for ammo are limited but the potential is really unlocked when hand loaded. In a bolt gun you’re getting into 6BR ballistics and nearing the 6 creed. Pretty badass little round
I built a 26” bolt gun and by reloading I can push a 108ELDM to 2900fps. SuperSonic over 1400yds and it shoots 0.8MOA ten shot groups.

I haven't looked into this much at all, but I'm guessing (as a grendel owner) that 6mm arc magazine options/designs are superior.
Grendel will deliver more energy at mid-long range, but 6mm arc options may be more refined due to its origin in potential SOF contracts.
I love my 6 arc I put together. 24in barrel with a mk5 hd on top. It rips all the way out to 1400 yards. And it's a cheat code to 1100.

Check out the new 100Gr ELD-VT from Hornady in 6.5mm. When loaded in the Grendel, it gives very similar trajectory to 1000 yards compared to the 108 gr ELDM in 6mm ARC.
In regards to wearing out the guns faster Geissele did a lot of work to make a stronger bolt and extractor, multi port gas system for softer bolt cycling and a reinforced upper with new enhanced barrel extension to make it as strong and long lasting as a comparable m4 platform

My 6MM ARC is my do it all round anymore. Great from 3 feet to a thousand yards, and that is just the limit of the distance I have to shoot. As you say, get the Geissele mags. They are the ones that work.
*insert comment about Trump here*
Yep I’m calling it he’s gonna make a video on it and Charlie’s gonna be in it
Edit: Lol, i called it
Thank God for shitty AR’s
Comment about trump
@@Trapper-tr3sdso it was a PSA AR huh?
Absolutely 🤯 that TH-cam let this comment post.
Yesterday- I think my next build is gonna be 6.5 Grendel
Today- Garand Thumb releases this video... FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT 6MM ARC... IDK WHAT TO DO
Whichever is cheaper. They both are similar enough in my opinion.
Lmao I started a 300blk build the week before GT vid dropped shitting on it
@@williamcoop8945 300blk def. has a purpose
@@marlowek1936 You're not wrong... I never looked at the price of 6mm arc
IF you want to hunt medium sized game, get the grendel. If you want flat shooting range gun, get the 6m arc.
I love to see you guys do a video on full power 6.8 SPC.
I have a Mk12 in 6.8spc from PRI. It's an absolute tac driver up to around 800yds.
It's kind of funny. MAC has been touting 6mm ARC for a while, and people were telling him he was delusional.
And 6.8, he thinks 6.8 spc should be the service round.
Tbf he tours 6.8SPC which is definitely delusional
@theoldefirme4500 Agreed. 6.8 SPC is a hard pass, especially as the service round.
@@SPIRIT-117 agreed
Cool round. It will be interesting to see it develop & integrate over the next few years.
Hearing the 6mm fire made me pause my drawing and just go
"I love that sound."
Grew up with an Uncle that has tested and loaded everything and has sworn by 6mm since I was a kid. There is a reason it is very popular in competition. between 6mm PRC and 6mm arc its great to see these options without having to go into the wild cat rounds. need to buy one. 6mm Maxx looks promising as well.
Thanks for the educational videos that you guys work so hard on.
So it's actually just the original 280 round from the FAL. If the DoD hadn't undermined the program we wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel.
280 from the EM-2, but no it’s a different round the 280 British was a 7x43mm round 130/140 grain.
It’s more like a 6 ppc improved just a different label.
Not really, the 280 had a less potent powder charge than modern cartridges that seem superficially similar. It had inferior ballistics to 308, without providing much in terms of capacity. Using modern powders it might be good, but not when it was invented.
@@Laz7481 Except you could fire 280 on full auto without rattling all your fillings out.
@timbirch4999 that has more to do with the muzzle breaks on m14 than anything. The Italian bm59 was fairly controllable, and the 240B, and other modern light machineguns use 7.62 without any issues.
I love the gun content, absolutely love it. I hope to see more gear review and concepts like you did 4/5 yrs ago
Hornady has some podcasts on the ARC, Creedmoor, and PRC families of cartridges that go into way more of the technical details. Worth a watch/listen if the academic side of this interests you.
Also, maybe G-Thumb could be a guest someday? Just throwing it out there...
THANK YOU! didn't know hornady made content like that on TH-cam!
6 ARC has been super popular here for coyote hunting for about 5 years now.
That's interesting, considering that it's a 4-year year old cartridge.
@@Borderline5440 people were wildcatting it before it got approved its just 6.5 grendel necked to 6mm which has been a thing for 20 years which was based on .220 russian so that is from the 60s, they already made 6m ppc in the 70s from that but this is just a 6.5 grendel case adjusted.
@@WayStedYou What this guy said. 6mm ARC isn't actually "new"...more like "newly marketed".
Even though I live in North Korea, I am always impressed by your videos.
As a ginger I am going to abstain from the “sunshine” advice. Great video a long time coming.
