    The neck will be somewhat variable because of the lacquer coating. It will however be functional in the Grendel chamber within the prescribed manufacturing tolerances.. This also allows for the crimping procedure and the neck sealant.

    Batch to batch variations are included within this specification.

      Thanks for the info.
      It sounds like a .300 neck will work but not the variants.

          While very effective, the Soviet T-34 was reputed to have such loose and rough production tolerances that some "required a hammer to shift gears." I'm OK with these engineers taking a little extra time with ammo that I'll ignite a few inches from my face ...

          I'm excited as hell about the prospect that an AK might or will be produced in Grendel. Market-wise, this could be huge.

            Who here wants to bet me that we won't see this ammo for two more years? I may be wrong, but knowing that we are going to have another election run on ammo I just don't see wolf going out of their way to tie up their machines to make 6.5 grendel by the millions when they can make 7.62x39 by the billions.

              Not me. I remember how things went after it was announced back in 2008.

              Maybe Glockzilla would be willing to take your wager?

              The day has come, Wolf Steel case will soon be available in stores everywhere! Well, soon may be a relative term, but there are actually steel cases in the hands of those who need them to check loads and pressures. David Fortier reports that Wolf has been at the Big 3 meetings he and other members of the press are


              IIRC, on the old forum there was a contest thread wherein forum members could guess the date when the steel-case ammo would be available. Nobody won...

                Well, I think you did, actually, since you were the latest date and we still havent seen it!

                But we've all been losers since wwe haven't had it yet!

                  At least they are making it now. something that wasn't being done back on '08. One step closer to having it in hand!

                    Sorry to be so pessimistic. I am just a little frustrated by the current market for components and it is starting to show.

                        Howdy, supertex. What part of Texas are you in?

                        Hopefully that's true....

                          I'm skeptical, Russians do things differently. I'll guess late in the year, maybe before Christmas, and I'll hope to be wrong and it shows up sooner!

                            So, it's slipped from 1st Qtr, to 2nd Qtr, and now 3rd Qtr.

                            Like I said, the real question isn't which quarter it'll be available, it's which year...
