Forgotten Weapons’ Ian McCollum on 6.5 Grendel. Hmmm.

[NugginFutz]

I think the reason you can't find 6.5 grendel ammo on the shelves is it was primarily designed for the AR15 platform. At least that was the feeling I got when looking in some of the big box stores and asking about it, was told we don't sell AR's, told them I wasn't looking for AR looking for ammo. I think the liberal CEO's have taken it on themselves to make it obscure. 5.56 or 223 are chambered in other platforms so as not to be so demonized.

The hole in this theory is that the premise doesn't address the discrepancy between 6.5 and 6.8 availability. Both are primarily AR15 cartridges.
