Anyone else on here looking at the new 6mm Max cartridge?
I was really tempted to get on the 6mm ARC train, but held off. The 6mm Max has my attention for a few reasons and I?m strongly considering building or buying an upper for a couple reasons.

It does look pretty cool.

I will still hold on to my 6 Grendel for a while to make sure the Max doesent go the way of the Dodo.

Whew!

I was concerned we didn't have enough new 6mm and 6.5mm cartridges.

I don?t currently have any oddball cartridges in the safe I stock up for, but this one looks promising. I have family back in Ohio that shoot .350 Legend which is a pretty big stretch on my part to justify it, but if it ends up being as simple as a barrel and mag swap I may just give it a try.

Sun and Shadow wrote up a couple pretty interesting articles on the merits of the new cartridge.

I wouldn?t be surprised to see someone do a 6.5 Max, although the merits might not be there as it seems to with the .350 Legend necked down to .243.
