Running on every imaginable ammo isn't a criteria of any professional group I've ever seen. It's a pretty stupid criteria really.

100% for my serious ammo, I use single lot # batches for each rifle. Everything else is training ammo.
Missing the point entirely. No professional group would be put into that situation. As they have close to unlimited funds and supplies.
This is a situation where professional experiences is now placed in private situations.
I am done with this thread. Too many narrow point of views.
You mean, too many people who disagree with you?
I do not see the point in a rifle that is tuned to run absolute trash ammo. All of my guns are ported "small" according to you, and they run great even on steel case, in my limited experience with it. My Hodge is a 14.5" middy with a 0.072" port, as I recall. It runs great. My other rifle is an 11.5 carbine with a 0.68" port. It runs great, too. I am not trying to run 3rd world handloads "because what if!?". Each rifle has its ammo that it shoots well, and I stock up on it by the lot #. All else is plinking ammo, and is fine. As we saw half a decade ago, if you don't already have the ammo, you won't be getting it. 5.56 near evaporated. I think there is a better argument to be made in "stock good stuff" vs. "Get a trash gun so you can run anything you find" just to have it double-feed and outrun mags with certain cans and ammo unless you put a stiffer spring and heavier buffer in it and...see what I mean? Just run something that's vetted and works well and be happy.
Who exactly are you referring to here? Mercenaries/contractors? Again, I don't know of a single professional organization that has a requirement for every conceivable ammunition. Most (all?) have a very narrow ammunition selection.
Is this one of those gay discussion from LF or M4C where some tard stomps his foot and types in all caps "STAY IN YOUR LANE"?
I mean, if anything, “military experience translated to private life” would dictate to stock up with as much of a very small list of ammunition as possible. Ain’t no professional planning to run around and scrounge for ammo caches.
Just showed up today, I’m looking forward to trying it. This will be my first experience with the 6mm ARC.
I took it out for the first time on Saturday, I had some Nosler 95gr bt’s on the self that I used for break-in, starling brass, and 29.0grs of CFE223.
Once I got used to the feel of the rifle it printed a few groups that were sub moa, and one that were all touching. I’m not much of an AR shooter so I’m pretty impressed. With real load development it think it will be a solid shooter.
Has anyone else tried these out yet? Got my 18” out today finally and my experiences match J Max’s. My best couple groups were about MOA maybe a bit bigger. This trip was more so for function/break in/tuning than precision grouping. The lower I had it on has a basic milspec trigger with a good bit of creep so I tried taking the groups with a grain of salt this trip. It definitely opened up towards the end though. No rapid fire. Let it cool a bit between 5 or 10 rd groups, but not all the way down. Only got 60rd on it today. My next trip I’ll be running a SSAE so hopefully I can get it tightened up as it breaks in more.
FWIW mine is not a noveske build. Just their 18” DDF barrel and bolt in a mega mml upper

Didn't Noveske publish the dimensional requirements for their DDF barrels? I think I have them somewhere meaning anyone could flute a barrel in the same manner. Seems kind of strange they released three common lengths when the actual length of the barrel should be taken into account to achieve the stated results/properties, no? 5/8x24 threads on the 5.56 would be great.
