Perhaps I did not make my self clear. Variation in the weight of the brass is where the concern plays in in for this reloader. I have seen as much as 6 grains difference in Hornady brass & not more than 1.5 grains difference with Starline brass.
Won't hurt the Starline statistics that all were purchased from the same lot. Suppose the Hornady brass may have done better if all ammo was sourced from the same lot. Not the case though. Price & availability on the Starline brass is considerably more favorable as well.
Hornady has had it to good for too long in terms of no competition of any sort, would be one perspective. Have to expect that a little competition may do this cartridge good on many fronts. Ammo prices are still plenty steep for every offering I am seeing though. Variety of bullet weights offered and the the alternate brass are the benefits to the consumer thus far.
Have to expect that a number of non reloader types, are looking forward to a monolithic bullet to be available to the non reloader shooters. Who do you suppose will be first big manufacturer to offer 6mm ARC with a monolithic hunting bullet?
