Match ammo is great for competition, but most 6mm ARC owners also need an affordable load for everyday practice, zeroing, and high volume training. This listing is Federal American Eagle 6mm ARC 110 grain total metal jacket ammo, MPN AE6ARC1, sold as a 200 round bulk case. Buying 6mm ARC range ammo by the case lowers your cost per round and keeps enough on hand to shoot your AR as often as you like.
The 110 grain total metal jacket (TMJ) bullet is fully enclosed in copper from nose to base. Unlike a standard full metal jacket with an exposed lead base, a TMJ bullet cuts down on airborne lead at indoor ranges and helps keep your bore cleaner over long sessions. Federal rates this load at 2,550 fps, and the bullet carries a ballistic coefficient of .440, so it holds up well past typical practice distances. That makes it a sensible training round that still behaves predictably when you stretch out to steel at longer ranges.
The 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) was developed by Hornady for the AR-15 platform, and it fits a standard AR-15 lower and magazine well with a 6mm ARC upper, bolt, and magazines built for the cartridge. It also fits bolt action rifles chambered in 6mm ARC. A common question is whether 6mm ARC ammo will work in a 6.5 Grendel or 223 Remington rifle. It will not; only fire it in a firearm marked 6mm ARC. The TMJ bullet is designed for target work, not expansion, so it is a range load rather than a hunting round. With a 200 round case, you can confirm your zero, run drills, and practice positional shooting without rationing ammo.
Federal American Eagle AE6ARC1 is new production ammunition, not reloads. Each cartridge uses a brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive, so normal cleaning is all your rifle needs. The boxer primed brass is reloadable, which makes these cases worth saving for handloaders. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 6mm ARC 110 grain TMJ.
