Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel

Well I doubt they have to worry about selling too much at that price. I think Midsouth has Black for $18 a box.

Most of my shooting is done with reloads but I've bought 3 of these in Grendel and Creedmoor. Sadly, I won't be buying anymore.

I'm stunned that they jumped the price by $50. What idiot thought that was a good idea?? Sales were probably pretty good at the old price but will drop to zero now.

On Ammoseek I see a couple of places have Black for around $150/200 (plus shipping). I've never fired any but hasn't the Black proven to be more accurate than the AG?

[Sticks]

Yes, Black is better accuracy wise. .501 BC vs .48? on the AG (actual BC is in the first couple off pages of this thread)

They do but it is backordered. 200 rounds shipped from them to my zip code is 189.44 but is backordered.
Carolina Munitions has 200 for 149.78 plus 38.13 shipping to my zip code but I cannot tell if it is stock or not.
I will continue to just pick up a box for $20 every week when I am at the feed store. They have started stocking it since they are getting regular sales on it now (Me!)

Yeah, i can't ever see buying this stuff again when i can get Hornady Blacks for $170.11/case shipped w/my TSUSA Prime account.

$16.89 at Grabagun. I will have to check and see if I can pick it up at their store front. Just 5 minutes out of my way driving to work. Thanks for the heads up.

What a kick in the seeds!! The gunner ammo was a great option at the old price. Not so much anymore. Such is life.

[Goochylogic]

That sucks. It shoots very well with my grendel and did a decent job on a doe this year. A buddy of mine shoots the 308 version. Absolutely devistating on deer from 50-300 yrds. No tracking needed with his 308 or my grendel.

The price of procrastination is apparently $50 plus shipping.

When you see price increases on a popular product, it's often because demand is so high and they want to be able to keep ammo in stock between the production runs.

It's either that or component/materials cost increases.

I've been finding great deals on Hornady Black, so no worries.

It worries me in that, it discourages potential new Grendel buyers. I've seen several post saying lack of reasonable priced ammo kept them from buying a Grendels.

I just noticed that TSUSA lists the AG in both 6.5 Grendel and Creedmoor at $159.95 (not 'prime' price; what would that be, do you think?). The Grendel is not in stock.
