[QUOTE="rsbhunter, post: 1916033, member: 5850"] Admittedly not a cartridge guru, so I can't see the overwhelming excitement on the 6mm ARC. I am putting together a 243 LBC currently, and can't understand why a commercial round would reduce powder capacity when not needed. I understand that they could have lengthened the shoulder dimension by a couple thou's and named it the same....I admit it makes it a lot easier as for factory ammo, brass, dies, etc...but if I am building a rifle for semi long range (600) Target, I don't want to reduce case capacity , thereby reducing velocity. I'm not knocking the cartridge, just curious as to why everyone is excited over a cartridge that is already available as the 6mm AR, 243 LBC, and a couple of other names. As far as components, get a RCBS 6.5 Grendel FL bushing die with a .239 bushing, or what you need, run Lapua brass through it ( or Hornady) and fire......rsbhunter [/QUOTE]
