Now this gets my attention... Any idea what barrel length the 6.5CM 140gr trajectory is from? Too bad there isn't data on 18" MK262 on the chart, but the 12.5" and 18" 6ARC trajectories are interesting to say the least.

Yeah...maybe not "everyone". At least in the precision community, many knew enough about ballistics to see through the BS...especially on the Grendel.
The idea of a 6mm in a small-frame AR has legs, and given the number of wildcats out there safe to say there's a place in a commercial option to draw others into it.

I'm too invested in 223/5.56 and .308. But for those that want to push these 6m m or 6.5 cartridges, whose going to pay for it all? No takers? Then I'll stick with what I've got.

I've read and watched about everything i can on the 6mm arc.
It's the .224 valkyrie and .300 blackout all over again but with more inherent problems than both combined. Plus suboptimal performance when used for anything outside of it's specific niche.
No thank you.

I’m fine with 556 & 300 BLackOut. I tried the Grendel, 300 and the 6.8SPC.
Only The 5.56 and 300 are still around. Gonna see how this cartridge does in the next few years.

The 224V is fine, but it is a bunch of compromises. The case is a bit too small, it tries to shoot bullets in too wide a range of weights/lengths/shapes. Frankly, it seems that a 224Grendel with 95gr spears would be the best option. But it seems that someone had a few billion 6.8SPC cartridge capacity lines set up, so might as well make some lemon-aide. And then the 224V stumbled out of the gate. Seems that the 6ARC avoids the 224V original sins. For most people, it would have enough umph and range to make a decent rifle in a SA or a AR.
We'll see...

It's that simple.

I’m with you, Grendel mags may be ok hunting or on a one way range, but the current offerings are at best so-so. I was hoping Barrett would offer mags since they were the first gunmaker for this cartridge.
