6mm Hagar - Why so wonderous?

[nincomp]

First of all, I am not intending to be a troll or start a cartridge war (like the 6.5 Grendel vs. 6.8 SPC ones that seemed to occur weekly on some sites).

I know that the case head is slightly smaller than the PPC and PPCX cartridges. This was an issue when modified AR-15 bolts were used, but I thought that the current generation of improved bolts has pretty much solved that problem.

Is there some other feature that makes it genuinely better than its competitors, or is it essentially equal to other cartridges, with the shooter making the difference.

Thanks.

If Carl Bernosky had used a Grendel based cartridge to win the Natl's then everybody would be saying how wonderful it is instead. it's not the arrow, it's the Indian that matters.
All the 6mm's shoot well, some might be a little faster, but they all shoot well with some amount of tuning and they all have have pluses and minuses in an across the course semi auto rifle.

Pick one, practice and learn it's characteristics, that is the bottom line.

Based on my personal experiences, the big reason for me to switch from my 6mm RAT to the 6 Hagar would be all my problems with the magazines I have bought. I am not switching anything right now, however. I will just go back to the .223 instead.
