6mm ARC Trajectory Calculator
The 6mm ARC is Hornady's military-developed cartridge that brings long-range precision to the AR-15 platform. With a 105-grain bullet at 2,750 fps and a 100-yard zero, expect about 3.7 inches of drop at 200 yards, 13.4 inches at 300 yards, and 29.9 inches at 400 yards. The high-BC bullets retain over 1,036 ft-lbs of energy at 400 yards and 898 ft-lbs at 500 yards—effective on deer-sized game and excellent for precision rifle competition.
Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. Match loads typically run 103-108 grain bullets with high BCs. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
Compare up to 5 different loads. The current caliber (6mm ARC) is pre-selected for the first load.
