Peterson Cartridge Now Producing 6mm ARC
Peterson Cartridge is excited to announce that it is now producing the 6mm ARC, developed in collaboration with and sold exclusively through Geissele Automatics. The joint effort of this partnership has produced a casing using a proprietary manufacturing process developed by Peterson Cartridge President, Derek Peterson, to eliminate the “machine gun bulge” issue.
“We knew we didn’t want to release our version of this caliber until we solved the bulge issue,” says Peterson. “It was one of the key issues for us.”
Introduced by Hornady in 2020 as a low-recoil, highly accurate long-range cartridge for the M16, the 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) has quickly gained popularity among hunters, competition shooters, and personal defense enthusiasts. The 6mm ARC features better ballistics than the .223/5.56 and can be fired from both bolt action and gas guns.
Available from a wide range of gun manufacturers and featuring an impressive assortment of bullet options to load with, the 6mm ARC exhibits less drop and wind deflection than other calibers in its class. Couple that with the calibers low recoil, which allows shooters to spot their own shots, and the ability to shoot accurate groups at greater distances (1,000 yards plus), and it’s easy to see why so many people have taken notice of this round.
