I only ask about 6mm arc cause my local shop has a ton of it in stock. 6.5 grendel not so much
Hornady has this thing where they'll take a pre-existing wildcat cartridge that's doing pretty well on its own, do just a little testing and find a load they can live with, release it commercially, and call it innovative. See 6 ARC, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6 Creed, etc.
A good friend of mine has been using 6ARC lately on ground hogs and coyotes and loves it, he has been hand loading the 90 gr Sierra Game Changers. I have used it a couple of times and have been impressed with it, but for the distances that we typically hunt (300 and in) I stick to my 223.
I have never shopped for factory ammo on 6ARC or 6.5 Grendel, but if you are not planning on reloading for it, I would shop around and see which has better availability and go with that.

I think it is something that offers a great factory loading that is accurate and very low recoiling. Very versatile round that can do a lot. I have one in a semi auto and am in the process of getting a bolt action rifle put together.
I do reload but for a quick fix to have some yote killing rounds I see so much 6mm arc ammo local to me.
I’d like to go with an upper in 6mm arc. Think it might be a more readily available source for yote ammo than 223 at these current time. Hell even .224 Valkyrie would be a good choice for me right now
Given the current state of things that’s hard to argue with. Grendel in my area is hit or miss and has been for the past year or so but when I do find it it’s usually 100plus rounds.
