The video showcases a ballistics and kinetic energy experiment comparing two rifles, the 6.5 Grendel and the 6 Arc, by shooting water jugs at different distances. The comparison reveals that the 6 Arc outperforms the 6.5 Grendel in terms of energy transfer, ballistic performance, and overall effectiveness at distances up to 600 yards. The video also discusses the benefits of both rifle platforms running smoothly and speculates on the future adoption of the 6mm ARC cartridge. Notably, the 6 Arc is favored for its superior flatness, speed, and energy transfer. The video concludes by inviting viewers to share their thoughts and thanking them for watching.

In this part of the video, the host introduces a ballistics and kinetic energy experiment comparing two rifles by shooting water jugs at different distances (300, 400, 500, and 600 yards) to see which rifle makes the biggest splash. The rifles are described in detail, including their builds, chambers (6 Arc and 6.5 Grendel), optics, and accessories. The shooting begins at 300 yards with the 6.5 Grendel rifle, and the results are discussed.

In this segment of the video, the shooter is testing different firearms at various distances on water jugs. They start at 400 yards with a 6.5 Grendel, trying to hit the water jug with varying wind adjustments. The shooter then moves to 500 yards with different firearms such as the 6 Arc, observing the impact and splash on the jugs. The shooter comments on the size of the splashes and the kinetic energy transfer. The segment concludes with final thoughts on the impact and destruction of the targets.

In this segment of the video, the comparison between the 6.5 Grendel with a 123 grain bullet and the 6 Arc with a 105 grain bullet is discussed. The 6 Arc is highlighted as transferring more energy and expanding sooner compared to the Grendel, indicating better ballistic performance. Energy transfer at 600 yards for the Grendel is 663.3 foot pounds, while for the 6 Arc it is 754 foot pounds, showing the 6 Arc’s higher energy output. The 6 Arc is deemed superior in terms of flatness, speed, energy transfer, and overall ballistic performance over the 6.5 Grendel, making it a preferred choice.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the benefits of both platforms running without malfunction with and without a suppressor. They note that the 6mm ARC has slightly less recoil. The speaker speculates on the longevity of this cartridge trend and mentions the track record of Hornady in mainstreaming new cartridges. The viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts in the comments and to check the description for more information, wrapping up with a thanks for watching from the Gun Collective team.
