6mm ARC Ballistics Data

All of the data below was gathered by Grendel Hunter staff shooting the various loads in 10+ round strings through a chronograph. The data was then entered into a ballistics calculator to provide us with velocities, energy and trajectories at various ranges. For our calculations we used the following conditions:

18 reviews for 6mm ARC Barrels – Stainless

  1. Justin (verified owner) –

    Awesome barrel, especially at the price point. Shoots 1/2 moa with a thermal and the 18″ is putting out one hole/ clover leaf groups.

  2. Anthony Linder (verified owner) –

    Barrel is well made. This is my 9th AR build and I’ve used different brands for each upper. With only 60 rounds down the tube, I’m impressed. First five shots were MOA and the remaining shots tightened up with the final two groups being sub MOA with 1/2 in group @ 100 yds. I was shooting the Hornady Black 105 gr. I’ve just purchased some 108 gr. ELD’s and those will be next as I will also be taking her out to 500 yds then 1000 yds.

  3. Mike (verified owner) –

    I shopped around and couldn’t really find a better barrel in this price range. I did some research on Saturn barrels and found them to be of high quality with positive feedback. The fit and finish was very good and everything checked out. Grendel Hunter was quick to respond to questions and shipping was quick.

  4. Jeff Baker (verified owner) –

    I had my Satern 20″ 6 ARC barrel on my rifle for over a year, so this would qualify as a long term review.

    My rifle was nothing special, a BCA 6.5 Grendel upper that I wasn’t pleased with the accuracy of. I decided to try 6 ARC. The Satern barrel turned my upper into a tack driving, game slayer when paired with my Ruger lower and Hornady PrecisionHunterELD-X. I got a really big whitetail doe with it this past season at about 100 yards and she was DRT. 6 ARC is my favorite caliber now. No recoil, not too loud with a thread protector (no muzzle brake), and very accurate.

    I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another Satern barrel from Grendel Hunter.

  5. Peter (verified owner) –

    My first 6arc barrel is definitely a winner for my new favorite caliber. I do love my 6.5CM but man this thing is so pleasant. Maintained sub-MOA up to 200yds with factory 108eld; plenty good for my skill-set. Andy (I believe) was also very helpful with the headspaced bolt (also great) I forgot to add to the order as well.
