The 6mm ARC is a relatively new cartridge designed by Hornady to be a flatter shooting round capable of fantastic performance, and all from an AR-15 platform. It’s gaining traction among competition shooters, hunters, and people focused on home defense, and there’s a gun being made chambered in the popular cartridge by a renowned gun maker: Wilson Combat. Even better, there are two models to choose between.
The Wilson Combat 6mm ARC—the WC-15—is being offered in 6mm ARC in two different styles of rifle, the Recon Tactical and the Tactical Hunter. Both guns are designed and produced according to the company’s high standards for quality.
