New to 6.5 Grendel in S Florida

[marine0811]

Hello! I am looking forward to getting my barrel/gas block/tub & complete BCG in the mail tomorrow to convert my Rock River into a better hog hunting rifle. I have added a ATN 3x14 X Sight II since this pic was taken.



Its the one on the right. I am undecided on my muzzle device but reading more here is helping me get to a solution.

My only problem so far is no one locally carries this ammo. I looked in the local gun stores, Bass Pro/Gander Mountain/Academy Sports and struck out. I do have some steel case stuff coming thru ammoseek.com. Are you finding a better source for ammo? I do not have reloading equipment and only know 1 guy who does, not sure his experience with this type of round.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've ordered ammo from Target Sport, if you buy by the case the ammo usually has no shipping charges.

I've also ordered from Palmetto State Armory, Graf's plus Alexander Arms and Precision firearms sell 6.5 Grendel ammo. Fortunately several local gun shops and Academy Sports carry Hornady 6.5 Grendel ammo in my area. Selway Armory is another good source if your close to Montanna as they usually have reasonable shipping if your close.

Cabelas has Grendel ammo.

Welcome to the forum, marine0811 !

Where in South Florida. There is a shop in fort myers that carries it but ordering has always been cheaper then the local stores.

Thanks for the replies so far. I am on the East Coast just above Vero Beach. I am headed to Lotus Gun works in Jensen Beach over the weekend to check their supply. It is a huge gun shop/range.

Nice pair.

Welcome to the Horde.

The Grendel does real well on Feral Hogs!

Welcome aboard. Were you a cannon-cocker in the Marines?

[marine0811]

Yes, LRRPF52! 86-90 then called back for Desert Storm to sit in California and watch my old unit kick some ass! Its all good, though.
