I have 20” 6.5 Grendel Heavy Barrel AR .....still needs to be fired. Guess the price of the Hornady factory loads keeps it parked for now. One day, I’ll try reloading.

I haven’t found any cheaper stuff at the local shops, but would be willing to give it a shot. Any shops in the east valley carry it that you know of.

I bought a 500rd case online a while back. It's still unfired, so I don't have an opinion. I'd be willing to part with some of you're interested.

I'll have to look and see what I paid.

This place is in Phoenix and shows Wolf in stock, $139 plus tax for 500 rounds.

J&G in Prescott was selling it for approx $115/500 but prices have drifted upwards since the last time I bought.

If you want brass for reloading the 200 round ammo can of Hornady American Gunner @ Sportsmen's Warehouse is about the best deal going, also @$139. I caught it on sale last fall for $89/200 which is cheaper than buying 200 pieces of Hornady brass.

Been shooting Grendels for many years....from the time when Bill held everything close and anything Grendel was hard to come by.
Reloading with the 123"s has been where most of mine was done. Now looking at the sierra 107 TMK.
Have said it many times...the Grendel punches WAY above it's weight class IMO.

Starting a 12.5 mid-length fully suppressed upper next.... may be MY 'do-all'.
