Is there any benefit of choosing a 6 ARC over a 223 for whitetail out to a few hundred yards? Also I do want to add a 6mm to the arsenal.. should I get a howa mini in 6 ARC or rebarrel a tikka to 6 creed?
This cartridge thing kinda gets confusing to me. I know most people favor cartridges that shoot high BC and heavy for caliber bullets. That’s where 22 ARC, 22 creed, 6 ARC, 6 creed, 6.5 creed and prc comes into play, but if the extra recoil and velocity isn’t needed due to shorter range hunting, wouldn’t a 6 ARC be better than a 6 creed or just as good because they both shoot high bc heavy for caliber bullets just at different speeds or just grab a 223 and 77tmk’s and forget about it all. I don’t think a 22 ARC is a great option because if I need more velocity than a 223, I’d rather get a 22 creed. But I could also use the same logic with the 6 arc and 6 creed? Thank you guys I know this is a lot.
