I've thought about this today LOL
24" barrel
52,000 PSI...soooo in a bolt gun you can get another 10k out of it?
Pretty good numbers though for real
should be 62k, Hornady has a seperate set of data for bolt action 6 ARC in their newest manual
Dont see any reason to run it in a bolt gun. I am going to assume unless its on something like a howa mini action it will be trickyish to get to feed well, same reason i wouldnt do a 6 arc. If you were american i could see this being pretty slick. In a bolt gun id run a 22BR or a 22 creed at this point.
lol
grendel has extraction issues? in what platform?
these are all grendels, the arc's are just grendels but they couldn't use the name, so they tweaked a fraction of a degree on some measure and called it their own, they're all necked down 7.62x39's, looks like prediction correct though, I knew the grendel was going nowhere as it's the most versatile and 21st century ballistics hp you can stuff in an AR and a few hundred million south of the border won't let that die, long live the 2nd, and when hornady made the 6 grendel...I mean arc...I knew that solidified things even further as the world has been asking for a factory 6 short fat in the ppc/br/dasher class for a long time, funny no one did it sooner...and OF COURSE then next progression was 22 grendel...I mean arc, silly me...hornady likely had them both in mind from the get go and probably wish they came up with the grendel to begin with...must chap their arse someone else got to the 6.5 version first and they can't do much about it, anyhow even more great news for the 21 century interpretations of what's possible with 30 grains of powder
22-250 is safe, the world still needs varmint rounds, ie; light for cal low sd speedsters designed to make small grenades in smaller animals and shorten the distance to them on the prairies, these .22's running high sd heavy for cal are just niche bastards that don't really have a place but it it would mostly compete against the 6 grendel, I mean arc...doh, they must have seen the rockslide .223 thread and all the guys smoking stuff to 400 with .223 with 77 gr tmk's and thought they have a better solution...and they'd be right

I just built a 22-250 Ackley instead. - dan
x2 my 22-250 AI is probably one of my favourite calibers I own. Bought Lapua brass, fire formed it, trimmed it once and should last the lifetime of that barrel. 75gr VLD's at 3500 fps and 90gr SMK's at 3175 fps are tough to beat unless you go more overbore. My 22-284 blows the 250 AI away with 75's at 3800 but I also have a 500 round barrel life and your burning double the powder to gain that velocity.
The 22 ARC will flop, no different than the 6 ARC did.
