I think that is the reason why the linked article references 87gr 6mm and not the 100+gr common long range bullets.

All these rounds are cool, but to me the reality is that with the NATO standarization and economics of 223/556 and 9mm, they are just hard to beat. Yes, teh AR15 should have a slightly larger round, but that is the mag well and bolt we have to work with.

All this stuff is cool, and the 6ARC is the closest I’ve come to getting something outside the 556/308 rifle rounds.

If you watch the video I linked above, the SOLGW sponsored shooter says testing with 100+ grain bullets is ongoing. This may result in a twist rate change.

Here is a cartridge that's been around a few years but hasn't caught on for whatever reason. Most likely from what appears to be almost a complete lack of support from Nosler in particular.

Gotta admit, the concept it appealing. I learned a lesson from 6.8, and that's why I didn't bite too soon on 6ARC, but I hope this catches on.

Getting SAAMI acceptance would go a long way to that end.

Hopefully SOLGW can do for 6mm Max kind of what George Gardner and GAP did for 6mm GT (SAAMI accepted in 2022).

A few more vid links about the 6mm Max.
