.300-$149.00
6.8- $159.00
And they jacked the 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 up to $189.00 also.
I expect a “little” inflationary price increase every so often but a 36% increase overnight?

Shoot I wanted to stock up on that for my 6.5g. This is the only place to get it right?
Im assuming the brass is good to go to save for re loads?

As far as I know, they have an exclusive deal with Hornady.
Hope so, I’m saving mine in anticipation of reloading it.

Well I doubt they have to worry about selling too much at that price. I think Midsouth has Black for $18 a box.

I bought all they had of the black at academy when it was $16.75. I just wish they had more of it. I had been planning on buying some of the Gunner but not now!

Most of my shooting is done with reloads but I've bought 3 of these in Grendel and Creedmoor. Sadly, I won't be buying anymore.
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - Bevo - 01-27-2019
What. The. F&ck. Literally shot my last round of Gunner today and went to order two more boxes. Was expecting $280 shipped for 400 rounds and it came to $380 instead. LOL, what a joke.
Bye bye Sportsmans. Best of luck with your Gander-like stupidity.

I'm stunned that they jumped the price by $50. What idiot thought that was a good idea?? Sales were probably pretty good at the old price but will drop to zero now.
On Ammoseek I see a couple of places have Black for around $150/200 (plus shipping). I've never fired any but hasn't the Black proven to be more accurate than the AG?
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - Sticks - 01-27-2019
Yes, Black is better accuracy wise. .501 BC vs .48? on the AG (actual BC is in the first couple off pages of this thread)
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - Londerko - 01-27-2019
Went out shooting yesterday (because we couldnt call in any coyotes) brought American Gunner for a 10yr old kid to plink with instead of my handloads.
I dialed it in for him and watched him hit a 10 steel going 10 times in a row at 400yds....
Totally bummed the price went up.
It WAS basically the same price as buying new hornady brass. And in my rifle was just as accurate as the Black.
But I wont be buying any more unless it comes on sale or I have a coupon.

Carolina Munitions has 200 for 149.78 plus 38.13 shipping to my zip code but I cannot tell if it is stock or not.
I will continue to just pick up a box for $20 every week when I am at the feed store. They have started stocking it since they are getting regular sales on it now (Me!)

Yeah, i can't ever see buying this stuff again when i can get Hornady Blacks for $170.11/case shipped w/my TSUSA Prime account.
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - TNhuntsman - 01-27-2019
Hornady Black $185 for 200 rds shipped with promo code VCP right now at Brownells or $182 from Grabagun.

What a kick in the seeds!! The gunner ammo was a great option at the old price. Not so much anymore. Such is life.
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - Goochylogic - 01-28-2019
That sucks. It shoots very well with my grendel and did a decent job on a doe this year. A buddy of mine shoots the 308 version. Absolutely devistating on deer from 50-300 yrds. No tracking needed with his 308 or my grendel.
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - djw - 01-28-2019
The price of procrastination is apparently $50 plus shipping.

Sales were probably pretty good at the old price but will drop to zero now.When you see price increases on a popular product, it's often because demand is so high and they want to be able to keep ammo in stock between the production runs.

It's either that or component/materials cost increases.
I've been finding great deals on Hornady Black, so no worries.
Hornady American Gunner 6.5 Grendel - hill37 - 01-28-2019
It worries me in that, it discourages potential new Grendel buyers. I've seen several post saying lack of reasonable priced ammo kept them from buying a Grendels.

I just noticed that TSUSA lists the AG in both 6.5 Grendel and Creedmoor at $159.95 (not 'prime' price; what would that be, do you think?). The Grendel is not in stock.
