The video compares three long-range AR-15 calibers: 6.5 Grendel, .224 Valkyrie, and 6mm Arc, each designed to enhance ballistics beyond the standard 5.56 NATO round. The 6.5 Grendel aims to improve range and stopping power, the .224 Valkyrie pushes into long-range precision shooting, and the 6mm Arc offers a balance between power and speed. The 6mm Arc stands out for its high ballistic coefficient and performance in windy conditions. It outperforms the 6.5 Grendel in downrange energy. Each caliber serves a purpose, with the 6mm Arc leading in overall ballistic performance for long-range shooting, the 224 Valkyrie being the most affordable, and the 6.5 Grendel favored by medium to large game hunters.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on comparing three long-range AR-15 calibers: 6.5 Grendel, .224 Valkyrie, and 6mm Arc. Each caliber is designed to enhance ballistics beyond the standard 5.56 NATO round. The history and key characteristics of each caliber are discussed. The 6.5 Grendel, introduced in 2004, aims to improve range and stopping power, showcasing superior ballistics despite lower recoil. The .224 Valkyrie, launched by Federal Ammunition in 2018, pushes the AR-15 platform into long-range precision shooting territory, while the newer 6mm Arc by Hornady in 2020 offers a balance between power and speed. Bullet weights and performance details for each caliber are compared, highlighting characteristics such as accuracy, velocity, and stopping power. The 6mm Arc stands out for its high ballistic coefficient and performance in windy conditions. Overall, while all three calibers perform well in different aspects, the 6mm Arc seems to strike a balance between power and speed, making it a strong contender for long-range shooting.

In this segment of the video, it is highlighted that the 6mm Arc caliber outperforms the 6.5 Grendel in terms of downrange energy due to its balanced weight and speed approach. The Hornady 6mm Arc 108 grain EL match carries more energy at 200 and 500 yards compared to the Hornady 6.5 Grendel 123 grain ELD match. Additionally, the 6mm Arc has less bullet drop at 500 yards compared to the Valkyrie and 6.5 Grendel. The video emphasizes that each caliber serves its purpose, with the 6mm Arc leading in overall ballistic performance for long-range shooting in the AR-15 platform, albeit at a higher price point. The 224 Valkyrie is presented as the most affordable option, suitable for varmint hunting and light recoil, while the 6.5 Grendel is favored by medium to large game hunters due to its variety of available ammunition.
