What's Up With 6.5 Grendel?

[craigs380]

How is this caliber developing? The ballistics look good. Is it ever going to be a more commercial round? The ammo I see for sale is expensive. Reloading yourself would be the best option but I would like to see some one sell loaded ammo for a more resonable price. I know it would never be as cheap as milsurp. Happy New Year! Craig W.

Alexander Arms has the copyright/patent/everything on this round.

I doubt it will every go very far if they wont even allow Joe Blow gunsmiths to buy reamers for it.

However, if you just neck up a 6PPC and blow out the shoulder a bit...

Kinda like the 6.8 SPC. Three years from now it will be all but gone.

The Grendel won't be gone,,but RIP 6.8 SPC/remmy

Honestly, I don't REALLY know where the 6.5 Grendel "fits" for me.

I still think it's neat though.

So let me get this straight... at SHOT we saw the same number of companies offering 6.5 Grendel stuff, that we saw offering 6.8SPC stuff a year ago.. and this proves that 6.8 SPC is dead. Yeah, that makes sense...
