Help me understand the subtleties here and correct me where I've run astray: From what I understand, the Grendel and LBC have identical chamber dimensions, with the exception of neck diameter and throat definition. To date, the ammunition appears to be interchangeable.
Hence a company making 6.5 Grendel dies can create .264 LBC dies by the simple act of stamping "254 LBC" instead of "6.5 Grendel" -- a move that makes sense even if there's a small number of LBC users who haven't tumbled to the difference.
Barrel makers would have a little more to do because of the differences in chamber neck and throat, but still a small effort.
Further, the Kansas City announcements really haven't had time to filter through the community, including marketers.
I'm curious about how these conversations will change over the coming 60 - 90 days!
