Passed by Green Mountain Guns today, they have Hornady 123gr A-Max in stock. Picked up a couple of boxes as I am pretty sure the rest will go quick.

Hope they shoot good out of my new J&T kit build.

I'm just hoping Hornady starts shipping brass again real soon. I have 300 pcs. on back order.

I have been looking for brass at a reasonable price, have not found any yet. May have to go and fireform some 7.62x39 as they are much more readily available.

Do you yourself a favor and do not fire form 6,5 Grendel brass from 7,62x39 brass.
6,5 Grendel is not very well thought caliber anyway - when you go above 50.000 PSI you start to break different things :( 6,5 MPC can do almost the same and is alot easier round to deal with.

Just my 2 cents, after blowing 2x 6,5 Grendel bolts and bucket of Lapua´s soft brass

Right now Crenshaw has Lapua brass at a pretty good price.

Thanks for the heads up, I see they also have wolf ammo in 6.5G.
