6MM ARC
Tested, selected and fielded by a specialized group 
within the U.S. DoD for its multipurpose combat rifle 
program, 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-Ballistic Coefficient (BC) bullets to deliver 
unprecedented performance from the AR-15 platform.
