Visiting a dealer recently, I found Lapua Grendel brass in stock. The market is very much normalizing and manufacturers are thinking about niche products again.
What major manufacturer would you like to see a 6.5 Grendel from?
I would actually like for Federal to get on board with Federal Fusion, as well as an economy multi-purpose bullet.

Hard to guess what ATK would do. I could see FGI putting a 6.5 Grendel in the Barnes ammo line first. With Hornady and Lapua as the two sources for brass, I wouldn't bank on any of the larger ammo manufacturers adding it. Smaller boutique makers (ASYM, HPR, Nosler Custom) on the other hand would be a good bet.
