22 ARC or 6ARC

I believe Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Massachusetts, Virginia, Ohio, New Jersey, Washington, and West Virgin. There could be more or less on that list.

Which states is it currently “illegal”? Is there a confirmed list somewhere?

Wyoming for starters.

6mm ARC. Legal in all 50 states, light recoiling, cheap enough to shoot a lot.

I like the 6mm for the heavier bullet but the 22 is intriguing. I want minimal recoil as my wife doesn't really enjoy shooting. She won't draw a bull tag so it's most likely cow elk only and I don't put her in for elk out of UT. I have a 6CM she could use if the situation required it. Her max range is probably 400 yards. My bias just leans bigger but I don't know if it's necessary.

I think it really boils down to rifle choice. I would not want an ARC in a rifle that it really didn't fit in.

If they are dropping an ARC cartridge into something like a 308 length standard short action like a 700 clone, I would worry about it feeding 100% of the time.

6mm/22 ARC in a Howa 1500 Mini or something similar yeah do it. Will be a great light weight rifle.

A 6mm ARC Tikka would be stupid.
