22 DPC (Desert Precision Cartridge)
The 22 DPC is a high-performance wildcat cartridge designed to enhance the capabilities of your AR15 platform, offering impressive 1,000-yard accuracy. Based on the 6mm ARC, this flagship wildcat utilizes 22 caliber projectiles and can propel 55gr bullets at 3450 FPS or 85.5gr Bergers at 3,000 FPS. This makes the 22 DPC ideal for long-range target shooting, varmint control, and hunting. Barrel life is comparable to the .224 Valkyrie.
Cartridge Conversion:
