6mm Dasher vs 6mm ARC 30" barrel

I am rather deep into the 6mm ARC for just a hunting rifle in a mini action CZ. Seems the 6mm BR & 6mm Dasher get a lot more love in these circles. Load data looks favorable for the 6mm Dasher when comparing target loads. Though if I consider Hodgdon load data / Hornady load data & barrel length, I have to wonder if the 6mm ARC gives up much to the 6mm Dasher for example.

A itch Id like to scratch though I think I should be very pleased with the 6mm ARC for my purposes. If I really wanted to up the game with the 6mm ARC what action would be recommended for the case head & OAL? Any good used offerings out there?
 
If I was in the market for a good used bench rifle in 6ppc I would definitely look at Bob Whites classified List, last time I looked he had a few 6 Grinch rifles too.
A used Panda or perhaps a Bat or Farley or Hall sometimes pop up on this sites classifieds as well.My Stiller handles both ppc and br cases very well. I like the idea of a dedicated rifle for your purpose.It would be very easy to get a custom chambered barrel from a top ‘Smith that can be changed pretty quickly onto a BAT or Panda and scratch that itch.

If you want a factory hunting rifle any quality company that chambers them will do.
