Just got a little teaser from Midsouth Shooting Supply on, Hornady’s new AR 15 cartridge. It has the wheels in my head turning once again $$$

Thank you 1182

Jesus, another round for the platform? All of these rounds make my head spin. What's the advantage for this one and what new stuff would I need to buy to make it work?

Another in a series of cartridges that have sparked my interest only to be hidden in the recesses of my brain and soon forgotten

Yawn!!! Another cartridge that basically mimics others already out there......

I already have too many calibers to reload, its just one more that will not add anything special to my collection.

Out of curiosity, what cartridge does it mimic?

I would like to know what it mimics, also. Just curious.

It's a 6 Grendel (basically). 6 Grendel was a wildcat and not SAAMI. Grendel has had long issue with licensing and other people just made their own to avoid licensing. It's a very, very good long range cartridge for the small frame AR platform. The have been a few very similar cartridges (6 Grendel / 243LBC / 6 Fatrat / 6mmAR). Difference is this in SAAMI and will have factory ammo.

Watch the Hornady video, they talk about what cartridges it was patterned off of. 6.5 Grendal was the primary one.
