Just got into 6arc, can I use the 6cm trimmer collet for 6 ARC and the 300wm for 300 prc or do I need new ones? Thanks
 
You're (most likely) going to need new ones. Check the cartridge dimensions.
 
Everything indexes off the shoulder so I doubt it.

Shoulder angle on the GT is 35 degree and the 6CM is 30 degree

Body diameter is 0.4590 vs 0.4620

My guess is it would be too sloppy to be consistent
 
I was able to successfully trim cases using a 308 Win. collet for 260 Rem. & 270 Win. using a 30/06 collet. I believe you would likely have to get a new collet. You could likely use a 6.5 ARC collet for the 6 ARC.

Best bet is to call Doug and see.
