6mm ARC vs 6mm Creedmoor Shorty?

[Sdvldog1371]

Outperform is kinda subjective. Outperform in what way? For a PRS round? A slower round that's less expensive to load can be a good thing. Easier to spot shots at slower speed, less recoil and easier on barrels. That's about it. 6 creedmoor has evey advantage Ballistic wise same bullet traveling faster carries more energy and capotalizes on B.C.

No replacement for displacement. More volume in the case, more powder, more speed. At the top end, more doesn't get you much more velocity, just shorter barrel life.

Creed takes the win

I went with the 6 Creed for mine. 18” Bartlein with a Manners CS2 stock.

Tons of great factory ammo options for the 6 Creed… 6 ARC, not so much. 6 Creedmoor is the easy button.

Realize this is an old thread but if you see this: What stock is that? Looks sort of Mcmillan-ish...?

It’s a Manners CS2 - the adjustable LOP was my draw to it for my kids to use.

Thank you. Similar intended use needed in a couple years. My boys are still young but making lists/assembling parts.
