6mm ARC- Next level AR performance? My Initial impressions

Join me as I put the first rounds through my 14.5" 6mm ARC upper! My goal with this upper is to have a package that's relatively small and effective for close range traditional "carbine" type work yet packs enough of a punch that I can make consistent hits out to 1000yds. In this video I provide an in depth overview of the components used for the build and then we hit the range shooting groups at 100yds before moving to steel at extended distances. Lets find out if 6ARC lives up to the hype!

Would love to see a video comparing the 6 arc and 6.5 grendel out to distance. Seem to be the most similar options for an AR-15 size rifle.

[@stevenr6539]

Agreed 👍. Love the Grendel

[@NathanSimms]

I agree my Grendel Faxon barrel is incredible.

[@556bc]

6 ARC already wins at that. Its flatter due to the higher BC. 6.5 Grendel can't make use of high BC projos since its at the huge expense of taking any case capacity away.

[@jonathanwhipple2360]

Same here

Great vid! I have an 18" faxon 6arc barrel.... its a lazer

[@jcknives4162]

I’m not sure why your channel isn’t huge. I remember Demolition Ranch throwing a quad hawk and firing a tank round. He is in the big boy league. But you, not only show excellent videos of practical shooting at long range and interim ranges your videos help us to learn new ideas around these platforms we enjoy so much. Keep it up my friend. I may be subscribed to some 400 channels but yours is the only one that I set for notification. I live in central Montana. My range off the porch is 716 yards. My range at the driveway entrance is 950. My rifles and pistols get worked out even more now when I see something on your channel and that happens often. Thank you. DOL De Oppresso Liber

Really appreciate the continued support here! Growing a channel takes time and mine is picking up steam everyday! I plan to keep pumping out content just like this as it seems to be working. The goal with each video is certainly to be entertaining but also to provide value for the viewer so I hope that always come across. Hope you’ll stay tuned to check out my next video and don’t forget to share with your friends!

[@Bulking_Smeagol]

Really impressed at the accuracy you're getting out of that Faxon barrel considering most consider them a "Budget" brand

[@seanoneil277]

Mostly they have that reputation because some barrels shoot like the one above, while others are completely unremarkable. Maybe it's an over-sampling of complainers, like BA has online. But I stay away from Faxon because of the inconsistency reputation. I have good luck with Odin Works for a wee bit more $$.

[@terrencecox3748]

Certainly budget priced compared to PRS or other cutting edge related offerings.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

As mentioned in the video I had no experience with faxon products prior to this video so had no clue what to expect. While I’m working with a sample size of I am extremely impressed with the performance out of both my barrel and the bcg…. Especially given the price. I was originally going to use a much higher priced barrel for this build but decided to scrap that plan when I saw how long their lead time was. The faxon was in stock so I pulled the trigger and now I’m a fan!

[@hxdaro]

@@seanoneil277 2/2 faxons I've bought ended up needing to get sent back due to accuracy issues. ended up going back to tried and true criterion

[@terrencecox3748]

@@hxdaro Interesting. I've had great luck with them. 2/2 have both been extremely accurate.

"Looks like we've had some pretty good performance from this CCI Standard Velocity 40 grain 22lr at a thousand. Let's go ahead and push it out a little further." .... Your humility is admirable, but man... You can shoot. Fun to watch

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Haha this comment cracked me up! I’ve always been a “you never know until you try” kind of guys and I’m not afraid to show off the real results. You’re not going to have a 100% all the time so I want to show realistic shooting on my channel with the hopes I can help viewers manage expectations for their own long range shooting. Lots more content like this in the works so hope you’ll continue to stay tuned!

[@TexasPlinking]

Making me want to build out a 6mm ARC AR!

[@moatmeister]

Build an ARC12 mod 0 lmao

[@lionheartedlux]

Do it, need more youtubers to touch on it to make companies start producing more ammo.

[@michaelangelino3189]

Was actually out in the garage, since it’s so dang hot, loading 6 ARC. My 95gr VLD’s are tops in my APF AR and the 107 smk’s take it in the bolt gun. Best way to describe it, they are the dasher’s little brother. I have been running 6 ARC for going on 2 years now. If it had come out during any other time period, it would be way more popular. The pandemic really hurt it’s initial release. It does seem to be picking up a little steam. Glad to see you using/testing it.

[@killacamfoo]

That after dark footage was like shooting at a lighthouse! So cool.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Glad you enjoyed that! I debated on if I should include the nighttime footage or not. Decided to give it a go because it’s not something you see in my YT videos. Lots more content just like this in the works so hope you’ll stay tuned!

[@chadjones7722]

ive bought an 18 and a 24" BA for ARC and shot exclusively the 108 ELDM Hornady match. Consistently shoots sub moa and groups nicely (best is .258 at 500 yards, average is about .6 moa), the max range I have is 500 yards but of the calibers I have this is the easiest to maintain groups at range and on target. Still watching this video, but will very much consider building a 14.5". The 6 ARC has bridged the gap of something bigger than 223 (it does everything .224 V should have done, and it obsoletes 6.5G, 6.8 spc and a few other small frame AR cartridges), but maintains small frame AR and brings more power and actually can shoot 1k or more.

[@montanamusings]

I took mine out to 1000 yards the first day I got it. I sighted it in at 100 yards then took it out to 1000. I missed my first four shots as my wind call was about .5 tenth off. Once I figured out the wind I connected 7 of my next 10 shots on a 18" plate. I hadn't shot out that far befor and it was a blast. I have an Atheris Rifle upper which shoots 3/4 inch MOA at 100 yards. I was using the 105 grain Hornady Black which travels 2690 fps out of my 20 inch barrel. 6 ARC is a great round and affordable to shoot. I have a walk around review on my channel and some other videos out at the range.

[@gregoriotapia4847]

Great and informative video. Keep the videos coming, and I'm glad your channel is growing.

[@TexanApollyon]

[@mr_mongo7228]

As always I really appreciate your channel and your evaluation of new weapons. Thanks for sharing and keep your experiences coming!

[@seeratlasdtyria4584]

Ok, I'm one of the dinosaurs on this channel, (I'm OOOLLLLLLDDDDD! :) but I'd like to make a few observations. My grandfather and father taught me to shoot substantially over half a century ago. One of my first 'serious long guns' was a bolt action 6mm Remington, I still have it, still shoot it. That being said, they both were of the opinion, that when undertaking ANY endeavor, its best to figure out first just what it is that you're trying to do. Imho, you American 'youngsters' (anyone born in/after the 60's) sees that question in a substantially different way than guys like me. Back in my day, America was DEEP into the COLDWAR (and a few 'hot' ones as well.) Accordingly we learned to shoot not only to hunt, punch paper and steel etc., but always with an underlying purpose: that of preparing ourselves for the very strong likelihood of someday going to war. Accordingly, the calibers/rounds that counted, were those that could effectively kill, plain and simple. Now flash forward to the "Call of Duty" and other first person shooter types of today, and the young human male fascination with weapons (which has been with our species since the get go) has evolved into a deep appreciation and desire to master real life military oriented weapons and variations thereof, most notably those based on the AR platform. Some want to simulate the 'up close and personal' actions and abilities of our Special Ops type service guys; some, the more ranged tactics of more traditional infantrymen; and some prefer to simulate the 'Reach out there and Touch someone' tactics of the modern long range, or extreme long range, 'one shot, one kill' type guys. I'm going to GUESS that those following THIS channel (myself included) largely represent that last group ;) Accordingly I'm curious about not just the range capability, but ALSO, the TERMINAL ballistics of the 6mm ARC, Grendel etc. especially compared to 5.6 (which by the way, I declined to deploy during MY time in active service) choosing instead to carry a 12 gauge, .45, and unpacking my 'long gun' for those 'special moments' when it was required. Terrain/cover etc. dictated your choices in the field- not to mention the unreliability and poor performance ,in my mind at least, of the early 16's of those days. Amazingly, I can still report that it appears that my 60 odd year old 6mm Remington can STILL out perform ALL of the current AR 15 capable rounds, as well as stand toe to toe with the larger Creedmore and other similar cartridges excepting only the capability to near instantly send large numbers of successive shots down range. However, for those of the '1 and done' crowd, that matters not so much ;) Instead what matters is that first (and hopefully only ) cold bore shot accuracy, and your chosen caliber's terminal ballistics downrange, not to mention the financial investment necessary to ensure a competent rig. Along that vein, I (and no doubt a ton of others) were pleased to see the fellow who recently turned up at Texas Plinker's 1000 yard invitational shoot with a WWII surplus Mosin Nagant bolt gun in 7.62 X 54 R, and then proceed to outshoot all but one of the other shooters, including the host :) ALL of them firing weapons costing quite literally many thousands of dollars each. Now I happen to have several similar Mosins for which , if I remember correctly, I paid some 50 to 75 dollars each. Again, every now and then , keep reminding yourself, just "what is it you're trying to do?" :) I wish you all well.

[@espguitarsown]

Very great video! Very informational and awesome shooting!

[@zr1vetteman09]

I took my 20” 6MM ARC out coyote hunting this past Saturday and stopped by a buddies range to hit some steel at distance. While i was limited on ammo, i was able to check zero (suppressed) and make some POI shift adjustments, then engage steel at 380 and 580 first round impacts. I personally wouldn’t buy a rifle with less than 18” barrel. If i need shorter, I’ll build a pistol setup. But This thing still packs quite the wallop at those distances, significantly more than my 556/223. I was impressed. In fact, there was no distinguishable difference in the impact sound between 6mm arc and 6mm creedmore at 380 and 580 yards both shooting 103 ELDx. I LOVE this little cartridge and the punch it packs out of the versatile AR15 and can’t wait to harvest whitetail and coyotes with it in the future.

[@jordanr8312]

Great vid! That setup looks like such a pleasant shooter too. Great work all the way around. Thanks for the enjoyable/informative content.

If you arnt shooting 5.56 and 6mm ARC back to back you won't notice the slight difference in recoil. Its negligible.

I am glad to see the 6.5 grendel is the parent case to the 6mm arc, as I am already setup to reload for the grendel and have brass I can convert.

Hit a can of spray paint in two shots at a half mile last weekend, the wind bucking difference between 108gr 6ARC and 77gr 556 at that distance really is night and day. It really does hang with .308 but out of a 16” AR

Great production quality..its why your channel is going to explode! the night shots were really cool...love that steel target impact light! This round is gaining popularity, I may have to jump on the 6arc train...would love to see what you do with some hand loads (esp with the SD). Would also like to see this 14" barrel up against an 18" or maybe 20-22" esp with regard to velocity. But you have proven the shorty can reach way out...haha...Keep up the great work!

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Exactly what I’m thinking! The 14.5” barrel is very handy, even with the suppressor on it but as shown in this video very capable of making hits way out there. I’ve ended up liking this upper and 6arc way more than I expected! Thanks for watching!

[@SugarFreeTargets]

@@MountainsMulletsMerica looks like I'm going to build a m'arc 18. Seems like the logical step in upgrading my rifle, especially living in an area with lots of wind and open fields.

[@lionheartedlux]

It is also a great performer with a barrel as short as 12 inches surprisingly.

[@fattigla]

I'm super stoked to watch this! I've been waiting for a legit long range shooting channel to showcase this cartridge!!

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Hope you enjoyed it! Lots of shooting channels have covered 6arc but my goal was to put my own spin on the caliber. I came into this experience thinking 6arc was all hype… after a couple hundred rounds though im a big fan!

[@fattigla]

@MountainsMulletsMerica I'm happy to see that kind of performance from a 14.5 barrel. I know a lot of people like 18" and longer barrels, but I've come to see an AR15 as a fighting rifle. For my use, an AR needs to be compact and handy to use. I personally don't have a use for a 20" rifle in any of the common calibers. If I'm gonna go with a longer barrel, it's a bolt action rifle for me.

[@watchman2293]

I truly believe the 6ARC is here to stay and will be the next evolution of the AR-15 platform , it out performs other calibers in the AR-15 platform . Geissele Automatics produces 6ARC rifles for small units in our Military already so that says a lot about the 6ARC.

[@seanoneil277]

It's definitely riding a popularity wave during the past 1.5-2 yrs, and factory ammo selections in 6 ARC are pretty good now. Performance justifies the popularity, if ammo supplies stay strong it will stay popular I'd bet.

[@deerstrike1050]

More please! I've been wanting to pursue a build like this.

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Oh man stay tuned…. Lots of 6arc content coming! Going to take me a while to get it all filmed but I plan to launch a series of videos comparing 6arc to other popular calibers used in the “dmr” space. Hope this is what you’re interested in!

[@charlesmckinley29]

Kenny over at Eagle Eye Shooting did a bunch of work with the 6 ARC when it came out both in the bolt guns and gas guns. A lot of issues came from the SAAMI specs and the head spacing and max pressure causing accuracy issues and it not having anywhere close to the promised velocity. Might be a worthy place to research. A lot is f the early 6 ARC AR barrels were 2+ MOA guns.

[@tylerwiltse2541]

A comparison with a Grendel would be excellent. Both are excellent in my opinion having put together one of each.

[@michaelcerrone1482]

Awesome build bro. I ordered one not long ago, it comes in on Tuesday, and I'm super excited. Mine will be an 18", but with a carbon fiber barrel. Went with that length because that was the length the round was designed for. I had Sgt of Arms build the gun for me.

[@terrencecox3748]

Cool build dude. This is exactly the build I was considering but decided to use Grendel instead due to availability of cheap steel case. The cool thing for me is that going to ARC in the future would only require a barrel changes. Same mags and bolts.

Great job and that is a great test out of a 14.5 inch barrel. I'm on th3 fence about barrel length, i am digging the 22 inch seekins precision.

First time viewer here. Love the video. I run the 6 ARC in a bolt gun and I love the round. Varget is my go to powder. its a little slower but I have an average SD of 6fps from all my testing, plus the accuracy is unbeatable. I have also found Leverevolution is very accurate for a temp unstable powder. I use this powder to push the heavy 112gr Barnes bullets.

@@MountainsMulletsMerica you know I do! If you want, I have an ior 1-10. Haven’t seen very many reviews on it and none that are in the field. Be cool to see you use it out to those distances. If you’re interested let me know I’ll give you my email

Great video! I can't wait to get my 6mm ARC build out to see how it performs. Built it with an 18" FAXION upper.

Oh dang that’s awesome! This is my first experience with Faxon products and I’m a fan. Epic performance for very affordable prices.

Great video. Would like to see the comparison video and with the 6.5 creed in the mix as well

My first 6 Arc barrel was the Faxon/Brownells 1:8 20" barrel. It was a performer. My most recent barrel is an 18" Spade Composites Stainless barrel. I took it to 700 yards with 103gr ELDX handloads a few weeks ago. 12/12 after we figured out the dope. We ran out of time to take it to 1000 but it is in the works. Great video. Love the content and would love to pick your brain on some other things if you ever have time. Thank you

Impressive, your skill is excellent. I assembled one last year with a 20"SS416R Ballistic Advantage Barrel and it shoot well. I have 500 yards available so thats as far as I go. I also reload my cartridges and have a decent batch of 6.5 grendel brass that I resize and they come out real good. Excellent video 😊

I have been super impressed and happy with my 6mm ARC build. My 18" 1-7.5 twist is working great at range (shooting sub MOA). I bagged my very first deer this season with the 6mm ARC and it dropped the 140 lbs doe in her tracks at ~125 yards with the Hornady Precision Hunter 103 gr ELD-X. My setup was a red dot sight before the hunt for home defense, I switched to my 3-9 X 40mm, I used my laser bore sighter in my 25' hallway then test fired it with one shot on a target at 50m, it hit about 1-2" high which was about where my scope was zeroed for 200m so I left it there. At the 125 yrds it was point of aim and the bullet passed between ribs on the entry side got both lungs and blew the heart into undiscernible chunks and broke 3 ribs on the way out. I'm in love!

Really nice shooting!

[@MountainsMulletsMerica]

Thank you! Part of the credit goes to 6arc, just so easy to shoot accurately!

[@billmartin5709]

HOLY F*** Nice shooting!!

[@willo7734]

Awesome build man. I’ve been shooting and reloading the ARC for a while. It’s a really great cartridge in an AR. I’ve got a 22 inch Rainier Arms barrel and it’s really accurate. The ARC is even better in a bolt gun because you can load it hotter up to 62k PSI. In your case Faxon was a great way to go. I’ve got 4 Faxon barrels in different calibers and they all shoot amazingly well. They are my go to company for AR barrels and they always perform great, especially for the money.

[@sfdclay]

Really interested in seeing how your hand loads compare with the factory

[@refuztosay9454]
