I haven't done enough with the 6arc to really have any meaningful real world experience, but I would suggest that you look at the Hornady ballistic calculator and start fudging your zero around a bit. Be sure to measure and set correctly the sight height. You may want to try to find a zero distance number that gets you approx +/- 3" MPBR from 0- 300. Then again you may want to try to stay flatter in the 100-200 range and hold up at 300.
The gas gun 556/223 does well with a 36yd zero. Some info on that out there on the web
Also I don't know that bullet placement is really any more or less important based on a shift down in caliber. I'll probably stick with my 260 bolt gun for deer, but if I do run either my 6arc or 223 AR's I'd want to be pitching Nosler Accubond bullets.
