All that looks good, but I am still a bit of a skeptic - it is written by a marketing department afterall.

The energy over a .223 is significant, as is the flattish ballistics. The 24" barrel is a bit unrealistic for the average rifle, especially in the AR platform for which it was conceived, but not ridiculously so for a bolt action, especially if the action is short or mini. The biggest advantage over a 6mm Creedmoor seems to be barrel life, with the 6CM half that of the 6.5CM.

I'd be very excited to give the 6ARC a go if the AR's were still allowed. In a Howa Mini action, I'd give it a go with a 20" medium heavy 1/8 or faster barrel in a KRG Bravo stock or maybe a TSP X-Chassis. Add a muzzle forward can like the DPT all finished in a stealthy bead-blasted finish in titanium grey for the Duracoat. Top it with a decent dialable scope (too many preferences to go down that rabbit hole) and distant goats beware!
