[QUOTE="biednick, post: 3066734, member: 123604"] 22 arc exists to let folks run long, high BC bullets (like the 88 ELDM) in an AR mag, not for a meaningful performance boost over 223/5.56. If you're running lighter bullets, a longer mag, or are okay with single feeding it doesn't do much. The same is true with 6mm. 6-223 and 6 TCU will sling bullets in the 80 grain range at roughly the same velocity as 6 ARC, but once you get into the 100gr+ range and add the ~2.25" length restriction of an AR mag ARC takes the lead. Folks have been hunting deer with slow 6mms for decades. 6 ARC isn't significantly different in regards to performance, it's just better suited to today's mainstream rifles. If I wanted to hunt with an AR in a non- straight wall state it'd be high on my list, and it's one of the better long range cartridges for an AR. [/QUOTE]
