What is TSUSA?

Just noticed this as well. Prime price is $146.83
Edit: This is a very recent addition to their inventory as well, so I assume they'll be getting some in stock at some point.
Maybe they bought Sportsman's inventory.

The Creedmoor has free shipping at Target Sports at $160 so not too bad. I don't see 6.5 Grendel listed.
Edit: I see it now when I searched. Out of stock must not show unless searched.

Just a FWIW, I just did the math and if it ever warms up so I can reload in my garage, it will be costing me $0.81 per round or $162.44 per 200. Kind of hard to justify reloading if my rifle would shoot Factory stuff well enough, about 1,25 to 1.5 MOA which isn't very good for a heavy barreled bolt gun. Like someone has said, I am no longer a tight group shooter, but I still know where the cross hairs were when the shot broke.

Yes, but if you buy new brass every time you shoot it would not be cost effective

I reload and shooting lead free it costs me about 40 cents a round not counting the brass because i don't know how many shots i will get out of them. Their are less expensive bullets that could get me down to 30 cents or less if i wanted.

Targetsports answered my question. And then sent me a follow up email this evening.
They state 4-6 weeks and they will have it in stock and that they bought up all that hornady could send. And that it will remain a stock item.

I get the impression some don't know how inexpensive new Hornady brass can be. Midsouth has a sale right now at $38.49 / 100.

Cheapest I could find when I was looking to buy was ~.50 cents a piece.
I always like to run a couple hundred rounds of factory through a new to me AR upper when I first get it to eliminate the handload variable and let the barrel break-in before I start working up a load. That's why I got the AG in the first place, though it wouldn't have been a bad thing to have available at the old price point if shooting a couple of DMR or gas gun PRS matches back to back and didn't have the time or inclination to load enough ammo.

Does anyone have any idea what powder they are using in the AG 123BTHP?

A canister powder that no one can buy because it's made just for company's to use in factory ammo.
