    Any Interest in 30 Grendel, aka 30 ARX?

    We recently had a miscommunication with Bartlein that was mostly our fault and received 10 308 Cal 1-10.5 Twist barrels in AR15 Profiles. These would be perfect for making a 30 Grendel. Any Interest? We can do uppers for around 1300-1600 for this run only exact configuration as any 6.5 Grendel upper we currently list. These will be sold at $150 less than equivalent in 6.5 Grendel Uppers for the first 10. Two are already sold as of this post. If the interest is high enough we can order more barrels but costs will be same as 6.5 Grendel.

    Dies can be ordered for ARX.

    We are expecting a response from RCBS on dies we can sell directly.

    I have seen discussions of this csrtridge. It will have more oomph than the 7.62x39 and the 30-30 Winchester.

    I look forward to seeing lots of discussions!

      I just talked to Robert Whitney at 6mmAR. Good Guy! He's selling me an extra reamer and dies. He says he has done plenty of groups under .5 moa using the 150 Barnes.

      Loads:

      125 Grain Sierra Match King at 2550 FPS
      150 Barnes VLD at 2450, pending

          Maybe some would like to know if you would be willing to sell just the barrels and if so how much you would be wanting for them? I am just spit balling ideas as to maybe what other might want.

            +1 on a barrel and bolt combo. And what would dies run?

              I believe we can do barrels too.

              Same price as Grendel but with Threaded muzzle as standard configuration.

                I guess I don't get it. How is this any different than a 7.62x39?

                  7.62x39 case capacity 35.5 gr H2O, SAAMI Max Pressure = 45,000 psi
                  30 Grendel holds ~38.5 gr H2O, parent cartridge max p = 52,000 psi

                  Translates to higher velocity, flatter reach, and greater distance for optimal bullet performance
