Advanced Armament Company (AAC) to make 6.5 Grendel Ammo (PalmettoStateArmory brand)

[MrDraco]

Well Grendel is pushed back to at least February.

Persistent we are in the final stages of 7.62x39 steel case. We have about 3 more weeks till that is finished.

We will be working solely on 6.5 grendel next. Realistically we have a few months of work left on that line. Probably be February or so.

We also are in the middle of contracting for 10 new calibers. It will take us two and a half years to add the next ten. I believe everyone here will be happy.

I seem to remember them saying they were going to produce steel case 6.5 grendel but it seems like brass only for now

Right?!? It's a mystery to me why these obscure cartridges keep hanging on. Must be more popular than I imagine.

I have shot a couple boxes of the AAC 77gr sierra 5.56 rounds through my 26 inch bolt rifle. Averaged 3/4 inch groups and averaged around 2950 in velocity.

Thanks for this. Nice to know there's another quality 77gr option available.
