If there are two things literally everyone (even those who aren't fans of the company) can agree that Hornady does well, it's releasing new cartridges and marketing the heck out of those new products. Well, the new 22 ARC is the latest example of Hornady doing some of the things the company does best.

The new 22 Advanced Rifle Cartridge (also known as the 22 ARC) from Hornady aims to combine the strengths of the highly regarded and very successful 223 Remington and 22-250 Remington cartridges into a single package and to fit into a specific niche no mainstream rifle cartridge currently occupies: delivering 22-250 Remington level performance out of an AR-15 platform with phenomenal accuracy.

This new Hornady cartridge (that started out as a project dubbed the 22 Coyote) is more than just a 6.5 Grendel necked down to 22 caliber. Nope, instead of being basically a 22 Grendel, the new 22 ARC incorporates a few other design features to set it apart from the competition.

Is the 22 ARC just another example of a rifle cartridge developed as a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist that will just fade into obscurity in a few years? Or is this cartridge going to really take off like some of the other fruits of the design team at Hornady?

In this episode, I discuss the history, ballistic performance, and the strengths and weaknesses of the 22 ARC in detail. I'll also briefly examine the 223 vs 22 ARC vs 22-250 debate to provide some information on how the 22 ARC compares to the 223 Remington and 22-250 (based on real world performance I've obtained with my 22 ARC AR-15) & give you an idea of what sort of performance you can expect from the cartridge and so you can decide if it best fits your needs as a hunter.
