VC2, good find. Hornady's LE/MIL WEBSITE says:
=================
6mm ARC 106 gr TAP: Tested, selected, and fielded by a specialized group within the U.S. Department of Defense for its multipurpose combat rifle program, the versatile 6mm ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) does what much larger cartridges can and everything that smaller cartridges can’t. Designed to meet the needs of the world’s toughest critics, the 6mm ARC 106 gr. TAP utilizes a purpose built, high-BC bullet designed for barrier blind performance:
Ballistic Coefficient: (G1): .580
Characteristics: Heat Shield® Tipped Match Grade
=================
Couple things I want verification: (1) The BC of their 106 is 0.580 but the BC of their 108 is 0.536. Something seems off. (2) Bullet is designed for "barrier blind" and yet it has a polymer tip like their match bullets? Something seems off.
I hope these things get clarified in the next few months. I know I'd rather shoot a 106 with a 0.580 BC!
For comparison, Berger's 6mm 109 LR Hybrid Target has a BC of 0.568.
