[QUOTE="Maol, post: 2133759, member: 98340"] In a boltie there are better 6mms than the ARC. Dont know a thing about the Turbo 40. But I agree with with Eric_F. For a factory GP 6mm rifle probably a 6BR. For factory 6mm hunting rifle probably a 6mm Creedmoor. But they take a third more powder to get 200-300 fps more than 6BR, and running over 3000 FPS really harshes your barrel life. Maybe a 6BRA for barrel life and rolling your own. Like the BR it has less recoil, not that the Creedmoor is horrible. I was pretty excited at first by the ARC for Varmints and Speed Goats. Thought it might be OK even for Hogs and Deer at reasonable ranges. We don't have Hogs, and Mulies can run big so that doesn't matter much to us. Investigating the ARC cooled me off to them eventually. The boltheads don't have enough meat and mags can be edgy feed wise. We went with ARP's TAC 6 (6.8 SPC Wildcat) in a 22" (for velocity) with PRI mags for a 6mm AR instead. It scratched the 6mm itch pretty good. We don't have a 6mm Bolt Rifle. Don't really see the need for us. The TAC 6 covers that slot pretty well i guess. Besides the Wyoming wind really pushes the 6mms, and for hunting that matters a lot so you really have to push them. That 6.8 Western is sure getting my attention though. A 270 in a short action. Hmm, a XBolt or a M70, now that is a whole new thread... [/QUOTE]
