Hornady Custom Rifle Ammunition 6mm ARC 90gr PT 2950 fps 20/ct
The Hornady Custom 6mm ARC 90gr PT ammunition delivers the accuracy and terminal performance that have made Hornady a benchmark in hunting ammunition for generations. This 6mm ARC rifle ammo is loaded with Hornady's proven CX polymer-tipped bullet, engineered to balance expansion and penetration on medium-sized game. At 2950 fps, these rounds offer the ballistic efficiency you need for consistent, ethical kills across typical hunting distances.
Every round in this 20-count box is hand-inspected at the factory, a commitment to quality control that separates Hornady Custom from generic surplus loads. The CX bullet features a secant ogive design—Hornady's proprietary profile that optimizes bearing surface and drag characteristics for flatter trajectories and more predictable drop. This engineering translates to tighter groups on the range and more reliable hits in the field, whether you're developing loads for a bolt gun or dialing in your modern sporting rifle.
6mm ARC has earned respect among hunters and precision shooters who want a capable mid-range cartridge that doesn't punish the shooter or require premium barrel life. Hornady Custom ammunition removes the guesswork from factory loads: you get handload-quality consistency in factory packaging. The CX bullet's polymer tip enhances ballistic coefficiency while the boat-tail geometry reduces air resistance downrange. For hunters pursuing coyotes and medium game in the 50–300 lb range, this round delivers the combination of accuracy and terminal performance that matters.
