HSM Centerfire Rifle 6mm ARC 75-grain V-Max ammunition (part no. 6ARC1N) loads Hornady’s proven varmint bullet into one of the newer AR-15-compatible cartridges built for flatter trajectory and better long-range performance than 5.56 NATO. HSM tops this 75-grain bullet with the V-Max polymer tip, which drives explosive fragmentation on impact for rapid energy transfer on varmints and predators. The 6mm ARC’s efficient case and flat-shooting ballistics have made it a fast-growing favorite for shooters wanting more reach from an AR-15 platform. In rifle ammunition for varmint and predator hunting, this is a proven bullet in a modern cartridge.

Key Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this load suited for big game? No, the V-Max bullet is built to fragment rapidly for varmint and predator use, not the deeper penetration big game requires.

Why choose 6mm ARC over 5.56 NATO for varmint hunting? 6mm ARC carries more energy and a flatter trajectory at extended range than 5.56, while still running from a similarly sized AR-15 platform.
