Hornady sells some really nice factory loads for 6mm ARC at some great prices. In a bolt gun with handloads using CFE223 or LeverEvolution and 95-109gr modern high BC bullets its pretty easy to match the performace of most of the rounds mentioned. Again, except for 6mm CM which is a barrel burning powder hog.

HUH?? Hornady’s 108gr 6mmARC load is 2750....the 108gr 6mm CM loaf is 2960.... 210fps. That’s a HUGE increase. The Creedmoor can drive the heaviest 6mm bullets at MAX velocity. The ARC can NOT! It’s a JOKE of a cartridge. And I feel bad for the people who were fooled into it. It accomplishes NOTHING the 6BR or Dasher will, and is not even close to Creedmoor/243 velocity.
