Shot Show 2020: Where is the Grendel?

[LRRPF52]

I had no idea that there is so much factory packed ammo out there.


Perhaps we are coming out of the closet.

There's even more including from Remington. Remington doesn't normally invest in manufacture of a new cartridge unless they're trying to promote their own (RSAUM, .30 RAR, 6.8 Remington SPC) or a strategic partnership (.300 AAC), or demand is significant enough to warrant them to get on the bandwagon.

I never heard any whisper of Remington even considering Grendel, so it seems to me it's more of a market demand-driven decision.

The biggest driver in Grendel market expansion is the availability of steel cased ammo, as well as its popularity among hunters, followed by long range shooters. Steel cased ammo and hunters generate more AR15s being built in the chambering.

More AR15s chambered in Grendel = more customers looking to feed their blasters.
