Hornady Black 6mm ARC 105gr BTHP – 20 Rounds

Description

The 6mm ARC represents a real step forward for AR-15 shooters who want better ballistics without jumping to a completely different platform. This Hornady Black load pairs the cartridge's inherent accuracy with a purpose-built 105-grain BTHP bullet that delivers flat trajectories and reliable performance downrange. Whether you're running it through a semi-auto or a bolt gun, this ammunition was engineered to work across different platforms while maintaining consistency shot to shot.

Ballistics and Accuracy

Loaded to 2750 fps with 1763 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this load provides the ballistic performance you need for precision work. The 105-grain projectile carries a 0.530 G1 ballistic coefficient, which means less wind drift and energy loss at distance compared to smaller calibers like 5.56 NATO. Most shooters report achieving sub-MOA accuracy with the 6mm ARC platform, and this factory load is built to support that kind of consistency. The boat-tail hollow point design contributes to both accuracy and clean external ballistics.

Built for Modern Rifles

Hornady BLACK ammunition is specifically optimized for America's most popular rifle platform. This load functions reliably in direct impingement systems, gas piston setups, suppressed or unsuppressed configurations, and bolt-action rifles. The 6mm ARC itself fills the gap between what .223 can do and what you'd normally need a larger rifle to accomplish, and this ammunition makes that capability accessible. The brass cases are reloadable, so if you decide to stretch your shooting dollars further, you've got options.

What Makes 6mm ARC Special

The 6mm ARC was developed for a specialized U.S. Department of Defense program and eventually released publicly in 2020. It achieves ballistic performance comparable to much larger cartridges while maintaining the lightweight handling and modularity of the AR-15. You get extended range capability, low recoil that lets you spot your own shots, and the ability to use high-ballistic-coefficient 6mm bullets within standard magazine length. This Hornady loading takes full advantage of that efficiency with quality components and reliable propellant.
