Where can I buy some factory ammo

[J9mcgaha]

Hey guys, I'm new to the Grendel and do not reload at this time. I am in the process of putting together my first Grendel upper but I can not find ammo anywhere. I would like to buy some wolf bulk just to have but also want to start off with Hornady 123gr. SSTs and see how they shoot out of my rifle as this is what I would like to hunt with.. I am a little bit worried since I can't find anything for sale online or at the stores around where I live.. is it normally this hard to find ammo for the 6.5?

You can usually find it on Ammseek.

Sportsman Warehouse has Hornady American Gunner in stock pretty often

Ammoseek, and gunbot.com
Probably some "panic" hording-style buying going on, that scenario comes and goes.

Target Sports had Federal TNT and Gold Medal Match in stock. This is the longest drought I've seen on 6.5 Grendel since 2009. I know the Federal is more expensive than Hornady but the only other factory ammo is from Alexander Arms, Precision Firearms and Night Ops.

I'd call AA for availability, I don't think their website reflects actual inventory.

They must have gotten a boatload, the limit is 25 boxes.

This just went live on r/gundeals on reddit. I don't expect it to last long based on the recent drought and everyone looking for ammo.

There's two Academy's near me, they usually always have 4-5 boxes of Hornady @ $22-ish per box of 20 if you don't want to wait for the UPS truck.

Edit for typo.

I'll never buy anything from Academy again. My son used to be able to go buy a rifle on his 18th birthday there. Used to.

Whittaker has the Hornady Black in stock for $16.99 shipped. I'm not sure i've seen it cheaper shipped than this.

Edit: Looks like it jumped back up to $18.99. They honored that $16.99 price for my order, but it looks like it jumped in price afterwards.

TargetSports USA also got some in. If you have a Prime account with TSUSA it's about $17.50 shipped.

Just got an email from Target sports they have Federal and Hornady Black

Found this I think your son can still buy there:
Academy, a Houston-based company that has historically prided itself on its loyalty to its local customers, said it will not change how its firearms are sold.

KPRC2 reached out to Academy and was the company's response:

"We serve a broad base of customers, and outdoor sports, including hunting and shooting sports, are an important tradition and recreational activity for many of our customers and their families. We are strongly committed to ensuring the legal, safe and responsible transfer of firearms. We follow all applicable regulations relating to the sale of firearms and regularly review our internal policies and processes to ensure our legal and responsible sale of firearms and encourage safe usage and ownership. As a Federal Firearms Licensee, we support the Fix NICS Bill to strengthen the background check system and require greater compliance with the law."
According to this no change.

I just called the Tulsa Academy stores, talked to the gun counter, he verified that it's still 18 for long guns.
