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
Well it's SHOT show time and DPMS,Sabre Arms, as well as Wolf are now on the Grendel "band wagon",,as well as others,all licensed from AA[Alexander Arms]
26rd functional mags are now availible too.Oh sorry for those in unfriendly states/municipalites
Honestly, I don't REALLY know where the 6.5 Grendel "fits" for me.
I still think it's neat though.

Not every cartridge is going to "fit " everybody
if you want more info go to the Grendel pages and read up

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...
