Description
Hornady Frontier 6mm ARC ammunition is built for people who shoot a lot and don't want to spend a fortune doing it. This is training and range ammo done right. The 105 grain full metal jacket bullet feeds smoothly through modern semi-auto rifles and works great in bolt actions too.
What makes this different from random budget ammo is that Hornady's been around for decades and they've built their name on making decent bullets. With Frontier, they pass those same Hornady bullets along with military-grade boxer primers and clean-burning powder. The brass cases are tumble-polished and primed for consistent ignition. You're looking at round-to-round reliability that most budget lines simply don't deliver.
The 6mm ARC Platform and This Load
The 6mm ARC was designed as a high-performance alternative for the AR-15, and this Frontier load sits perfectly in that sweet spot for volume shooters. The 105gr FMJ delivers around 2700 feet per second, which means flat trajectory, minimal recoil, and the kind of ballistics that work from close range out to reasonable distances. It cycles well in both direct impingement and piston-driven systems.
Value and Reloadability
Brass cases mean you can reload these if you want to stretch your dollar even further. They come with military-style primer crimps, so you'll need to remove those before you seat new primers, but that's a five-minute job. For handloaders, that reloadable brass is part of the real value proposition here.
Each box ships with 20 rounds, and the ammo is made right here in the USA. If you're running training courses, practicing for matches, or just putting in volume at the range, this is a sensible choice that doesn't force you to choose between frequency and quality.

Can I reload these brass cases?
Absolutely. The brass is fully reloadable, which is one of the real benefits of this ammo if you shoot high volume.
