Frontier Cartridge Military Grade Ammunition 6.5 Grendel 123 Grain Hornady FMJ - Old Bob - 06-16-2023
If anyone is interested, this ammo is now at Midway USA. Must be a limited supply 'cause you can only order 2 boxes.

Good to see it is back. Between that and AAC, should help reduce the need for people to use nicer ammo for plinking.

I wouldn't call this cheap plinkin' ammo...

Hornady doesn't list a 123 gr 6.5 FMJ bullet. Wonder why ?

Thanks, its been a while since Ive used SGAmmo too. They had some 103 ELD-X 6mm Arc ammo available! For Christ sakes, someone make some 6mm ARC brass! Yeah, I know its coming, so is my death! How many years has it been now? WTF??? Its almost to the point of going Bud Light on Hornady!

It used to be 15-20$ a box, looks like Midway is pricing it a lot higher. I'll be curious to see how much Academy and other places sell it for this time around.

Midsouth Shooters currently is running a Veterans Day sale on Hornady Frontier. $20 a box. Cheapest I've seen factory ammo that wasn't Wolf or Privi in years.

Is the brass in the Frontier worth using for reloading? Given how much that once fired brass, much less new brass costs, $1 a round for usable range ammo to provide for my reloading better ammo SEEMS a good deal.

I've bought some of this Frontier branded ammo before. Even though the head stamps say Hornady, I believe it's made in the Lake City ammunition plant in Missouri. If the brass for this 6.5 Grendel ammo is actually made there, it's gonna be good stuff & very re-loadable. Even if it's actual Hornady made brass, you'll get some use out of it. IIRC .. when I bought this before, being made at the LC plant was part of the description in it's sales pro-mo. I just don't remember which online vendor I got it from. It wasn't Mid-South though ...

The Frontier line is still made by Lake City using Hornady bullets. I ordered a case so I can see when it gets here what the head stamp says.

Well Hell! I started this dang thread. All I had to do is read my OP to see where I ordered this ammo before. It was MdwayUSA. I knew there was something familiar about it.

Got my case, the casings are stamped Hornady.

For anyone in the area, Gebo's in McKinney has several boxes, about $20/a box.

I picked up 200 rounds, both for the brass and for plinking/break in. I have purchased lake city primed brass from pulled rounds before and have had great success reloading it, 5+ reloads without annealing or any issues. This Frontier stuff isnt terribly accurate, but its getting better as the barrel breaks in, initially I was looking at 2.5 moa with hornady black, but it has tightened up and I am seeing 1.5 MOA with the Frontier. I cannot wait to get loading with the SST bullets I have waiting.
