Well there you go, I would be willing to change my position in that other thread. I would buy thousands of rounds of either or both options we are talking about in this thread. Or just the pills that Wolf are using all by themselves for that matter.

If Drifter's recollection on Barnes group orders is correct: http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showt...ll=1#post54456

Then it shouldn't be that hard to get a 15-20k order lined up (I'd think).

Buster: 500

Just two guys get you 5% of a 20k order right there already.LOL

Now you'd just need some more folks. Emails are fine, but cash talks louder every time.

A lot more, it appears. The linked thread only got an order total of 9000, after 12 months.

And, better figure on some people dropping out, for various reasons.

I think people are wary to commit to vaporware. Build it and they will come. . . .

No other cartridge in the world today can pack the capability we can pack into a 25-round double-stack magazine in a common, industry-standard AR15. Either their bullets are too small or too big or their cases don't double stack or their BCs suck or they gotta use non-standard receivers or their cartridges just don't have a cool name. Our Cause is Just, our Cartridge is The Heat, we are Kings of our 1,000-yard Domain. Grendel on, baby.

yessir. and I'm in for 500.

Well, I wasn't in that thread silly!

That's 1/6th of the last 1 year 9000 attempt from only three people, and in only a day...

ETA: If folks could chip in for 500 round batches (instead of smaller bundles) it'd go much faster, and have a lot better odds of going through....

Oh. In that case, I reckon success is assured!

12.5% in rapid order.

Nice even batches of 500 will/would also make it far kinder for the poor soul who ends up mailing all the flat rate boxes.

I'll do 500 assuming a reasonable price. I know this is wishful thinking, but if we can get them under $25 per 100 and a BC greater than 0.400, I'll take 1000.

What OAL were you thinking? I'd think we 1.20" would be optimal, maybe up to 1.25" from additional boat tail. Maybe even make the proposal 105gr +- 5gr to give more room to optimize the BC.

[BluntForceTrauma]

See the attached PDF in post #1. Nose is 0.725" (18.4mm) + bearing surface or shank of 0.350" + boat tail of 0.200" (or short boat tail of 0.100") = 1.275" long or 1.175" short.
