This article needs improvement. This article is important because the 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the fastest growing rifle calibers.

However, this cartridge was designed to shoot 110- to 160-grain bullets to be stabilized by 1:10 twist barrels, similar to the .270 Win.

8.6mm Blackout (8.6×43 mm), sometimes referred to as 8.6 BLK, [1] is a centerfire rifle cartridge developed by the firearms manufacturer Q, LLC.

These wildcats also push forward the shoulder of the same necked Grendel case similar to the Turbo 40, yielding more powder capacity. 6.5 g (100 gr) or heavier grain VLD boat-tail bullets have to be seated deeply within the case neck, however, rendering some of these volume gains illusory but there is an increase in volume even with the longer ...
The 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge (6×38mm), or 6mm ARC for short, is a 6 mm (.243) caliber intermediate rifle cartridge introduced by Hornady in 2020, as a low-recoil, high-accuracy long-range cartridge, designed for use in the M16 platform at request of a specialized group within the U.S. DoD for its multipurpose combat rifle program.
The cartridge is a necked-up version of the .22 PPC which is in turn based on a .220 Russian (5.6×39mm). [5] The standard bullet diameter for 6 mm caliber cartridges is .243 inches (6.2 mm), the same diameter used in the .243 Winchester and 6mm Remington cartridges.
