Are we talking 6mm ARC or 6.5 Creedmore?

If 6mm ARC, then I get that, but again, 5.56NATO works 90+% as well 90+% of the time...


My guess: There are a lot of mall ninjas buying "long range precision" rifles who never shoot past 200yds. It's a marketing coup to get them to buy more stuff, but they'd be better served with 5.56...


And me? My next rifle is going to be a 5.56 bolt gun. Really.
