Thanks for checking. I'm sure on some level they want to sell product and make money. This whole saga has just seemed a strange way of going about it. Anyway, knock on wood!

During this morning's brief phone conversation, as shared above, I assumed that the new WOLF 6.5 Grendel Steel Case ammo will be released to current WOLF ammo Distributors, such as MidwayUSA. Prompted by your question, however, I moments ago called WOLF Performance Ammo and asked to speak to James. I was told he was out of the office. The person I talked to confirmed that the new Steel Case 6.5 Grendel will be released, at the end of this month, but could not clarify to what ammo Distributor(s).
That's interesting, because I called around noon today, and was told it would be released beginning of August to retailers such as Sportsman's Guide and Ammo something .com. No price was quoted, and the person at customer service at Sportsman's Guide could not give a price or ETA either. I'd like to know where David Fortier got his supply of steel case from
I also think it noteworthy that Wolf is still identifying the Grendel as an AA owned trademark. Just how old is that page? It still id's the projo as 110 grains...
If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?
I'd say the connection is that he writes and edits gun and ammo related articles for magazines, is involved in the publication of some magazines (I think?), and Wolf wanted their ammo reviewed in time to start buying advertising for their rollout.
I've never had the priviledge of meeting Dave in person, but he seems like a pretty good guy to me.

We either hang together on this, or we'll certainly HANG separately.....
So to sum up. In...2-3 weeks the Big Distributors may get 6.5 steel case ammo.... It may be cheap enough for plinking ..It may yaw quickly and be good for hunting. It may be hunting accurate... We have been told that the demand will exceed supply for months. So The chain of events necessary for me to get some 6.5 steel case is shorter then it was. But if I get some before Christmas I will consider myself lucky.

That info was posted at the beginning of 2008. So, it's six and a half years old...

Bill A. said in his testing of the production run it's yawing at 2 inches and averaging 1 MOA. He was very pleased with the accuracy, considering it's Wolf.
I guess we won't know the price until a retailer puts a sticker on it.

If they keep shooting down airliners, we won't b chatting much - Check online for BC measuring techs. It should be decent closer in rounds, for practice- hogs, etc. The yaw factor is good for hogs, Tx gunner tried to get the 160 fmj's to yaw for a - while.
On another note, I don't know what's worse sending our money to China and Russia or sending or money to these bureaucrats through these ridiculous taxes on firearms, ammunition, nfa stamps, etc... that is used to fund these infringements on our rights. We give them money to take away our rights.
