WTB Federal Fusion Grendel Ammo - JDViper - 10-21-2023

I know it's a long shot, but I'm almost out of my hunting ammo. If anyone has a box (or ten) they are willing to part with, I would VERY much appreciate it. Thanks!

I checked ammoseek and about 20 different online vendors, who all show it out of stock.

Shooter’s Pro Shop (Nosler) has 129gr ABLR Trophy Grade ammo available if you want a bonded solution.

129gr ABLR expands down to 1300fps, and has a really high BC so it doesn’t slow down as fast as others.

Thanks for the info. Do you know what the difference is between the regular and "blem"? I'm assuming it's out of spec? But there's a big price difference!

Blem bullets can be culled bullets when starting production on a different sku or caliber. Blem bullets can also have cosmetic abnormalities compared to retail bullets or ammunition. I’ve visited Sierra’s factory and their lab inspects for tolerances plus test fires any new batch of bullets. Some of Sierra factory seconds might be from a batch of bullets that don’t produce accuracy to spec. I’ve shot several thousand 6.5 mm and .224 blem/factory second bullets from Nosler and Sierra. For short range hunting and target shooting I have had very good results with blems. If I know I’m going to shoot past 300-400 yards I shoot retail bullets or over runs. In my experience Nosler over runs are very good quality but are generally cheaper than bullets purchased at retail locations.
