[QUOTE="Pdyson, post: 2752149, member: 74061"] I have ARs in 6.5 Grendel and 300BO and I bought a little bolt action 6ARC for my 9yo Grandson for deer, hogs & coyotes. I reload for all three. Shooting 120gr Gold Dots and 123gr SSTs or even ELDs the Grendel is my favorite Go-to gun for night hunting hogs and coyotes and i’ll take it to the blind deer hunting if i see signs that hogs have been coming in before shooting light. Component availability is only a problem with the 6mm ARC. Currently, only Hornady is making brass and all of it is going into ammo. My LGS had a case of ELD-Ms so I bought 5 boxes. BTW Hornady match bullets kill like poison so no need to waste them for the brass. As for case life expect the ARC will perform like the Grendel, ARs can be rough on brass. However, Stay a bit below max and your brass should last awhile. Of the 3 the Grendel will be the leader for energy and penetration but at short range all would work. I’d still feel under-gunned facing a 500+ pound bear and I think I’d just go buy a Ruger SFAR which is a hard hitting 308 on a AR15 sized frame. Let me add one more cartridge to your list for consideration. Wilson Combats 300 HAM’R It’s like a 300 BO Magnum. it’s 250fps faster that the BO and pretty close to 30/30 power. [/QUOTE]
