        I know this may be wishful thinking at this point but are there plans to offer this ammo in a soft or hollow point?

          Haven't moved, yet. Still in my apartment. The MS tremors got so severe back in late January and early February that at that point it looked like I'd have to go into assisted living ASAP, but then they slowly began to subside enough that such a move could be delayed.

          Hmm... My post count seems to be stuck at 666. D'ya suppose that might be -- dare I say it -- an omen?

                        Agreed.

                        BTW, I have a $10 bet going that the ammo hits the shelves in Nov 2012. My buddy bets on July 2013. We'll see who'll be closer.

                            Anybody else find it curious that the Russians managed to amass 3600 Tanks at Kursk in less time than it's taking to put this ammo on the shelves?

                              Slow but unerring!

                              Back from IWA, nice talks with the head of engineering and also the Molot rifle folks. Russians are a breath of fresh air wrt engineering and will examine and calculate every detail. We spent considerable time looking at the hoop strain of the AR breach and the allowable elastic deformation of the cases. The AR is marginal in 5.56 with steel cases dues to pressure but the Grendel is a better prospect. They are cautious regarding the backing support of the barrel extension but allowed us the benefit of experience in this matter. Such talks leaves one wondering how some of the cheaper AR parts will effect the system and the things that people have seen with the 5.56 steel cases.

                              It does mean that we were correct to insist on the 50,000 psi loading and not allow this to climb just to get Mv to make sales.

                              Saw the first 6.5 Grendel AK or correctly 6.5x39 Grendel. Sporter set up with a 10 round magazine but a magnificent gun. I intend to buy one.

                                Can someone enlighten me on the neck diameter of the upcoming wolf steel case ammo?
                                I read somewhere that it is 0.295 but unable to confirm. TIA
