    Precision Firearms Ammo put on hold

    Until Further Notice 6.5 Grendel Ammo manufacturing has been put on hold. Too many headaches and not enough profit in it to justify making it for the time being.

    raise the price, narrow the selection..... your profits will go up, the orders will go down..... less head-ache
    Punctuation is for the weak....

      That's too bad. The ammo I got from Precision has been some of the best I've tried. Bummer.

        Might be an answer but there are pitfalls there too.

          also would simplify the stocked line 1 match round, 1 lead free hunting, 1 leaded hunting round what ever sells best for each category and if they want something else maybe consider a custom load order option with a set min rd count what ever makes it worth wile for your time

            This.... And I would personally request the 129 ABLR as a standard load due to its low expansion velocity. I know I was planning to stock up for use with my 12" build when it came back in stock.

              Just out of curiosity why more headaches over any other round you carry? Is it more expensive to produce than most, thus lower margins?

                Right now I cant find Lapua brass except at full retail!

                Also it by far far far the most popular ammo we make. I dont make much 223 ammo at all!

                    Will the previous ammo orders be filled before stopping production? I've been waiting for 129 ablr for a while now.

                        There was a previous post about Starline introducing Grendel brass. It 's not Lapua but if was capable of consistent accuracy, it might be profitable.

                          Would you consider Hornady brass?

                          It's great brass, and would bring the price down. I sure miss the days when we were getting Lapua brass for $66/100.

                            For dedicated hunting loads, I would be perfectly fine with possibly losing hornady brass as opposed to lapua.....

                              I already voted for Hornady.
