    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    I have two 6 ARC AR's. One has a 22" Shaw barrel. It shot well with CFE 223, but was more temperature sensitive than Lever. I had to run it about 0.2 grains below what I originally thought was optimum to get the best balance of precision and temperature tolerance with CFE. My other 6 ARC has...
