Hornady Custom 6mm ARC 90gr CX Ammunition 20rd

Description

The 6mm ARC is one of the smartest moves for AR-15 shooters who want serious ballistic performance without stepping up to a larger platform. This Hornady Custom load gives you what you need for hunting medium game and precision shooting in a lightweight, easy-to-handle package.

Why the 90-grain CX matters for 6mm ARC

Hornady's CX bullet is a one-piece copper alloy design that doesn't separate on impact. You get near-complete weight retention, deep penetration, and controlled expansion across a wide velocity range. The 90-grain weight sits right in the sweet spot for 6mm ARC versatility, working equally well whether you're reaching out past 300 yards or staying in closer for follow-up shots. At 2950 fps from a standard barrel, this load prints flat and keeps its energy downrange where it counts.

What makes Hornady Custom different

Every round is hand-inspected before it leaves the factory. The powder charges are uniform, primer seating is consistent, and the whole setup is tuned to deliver match-grade accuracy from a factory load. Hornady markets their Custom line as handload-quality ammunition, and they back it up with quality control that doesn't cut corners. These 20-round boxes come in reloadable brass cases, so after you shoot them, the brass still has value for handloaders.

Practical hunting and field performance

The 6mm ARC bridges a real gap for hunters. You get better ballistics than 5.56 NATO without the recoil and weight of larger cartridges like 308 Winchester. This 90-grain load works on deer, hogs, coyotes, and varmints depending on shot distance and placement. The secant ogive bullet profile helps with trajectory consistency, and the CX's high ballistic coefficient means less wind drift and better energy retention than older monolithic designs.
