Hornady steel case match ammo - MSRP:
.223 Rem 75gr BTHP $31.07/50rds ($0.62/rd)
.30 Carb 110gr FMJ $37.80/50rds ($0.76/rd)
.308 Win 155gr BTHP $60.24/50rds ($1.20/rd)
That's certainly not my idea of "economy price" ammo. From the above, I'd estimate MSRP of 6.5 Grendel steel case match ammo to be circa $0.90 per round.

Those are pricey target bullets selected. For example, the 75gr BTHP is not a cheap bullet. Their 55gr BTHP load is $0.55/round if you follow their inflated MSRP from the Hornady site.
If it was loaded with the economy projectiles for training, it could bring the cost down considerably.

The 55gr BTHP ammo MSRP is irrelevant. Any 6.5 Grendel Steel Match load would almost certainly have a 123gr match bullet, with resulting MSRP of circa $0.90 per round. So if you're looking to Hornady for low cost Grendel ammo, all I can say is don't hold your breath.
*ETA: The .30 Carbine Steel Match load is an exception, having an ordinary 110gr FMJ bullet, but the price is nevertheless quite high.Last edited by stanc; 01-07-2014, 01:38 AM.

I'm getting on a plane tomorrow and I'll be at SHOT Show Thursday and Friday. I'll check with Wolf, but I don't know why. If they had it, we'd all have heard.
