Hornady Team Discusses 6mm ARC

[lazyengineer]

It's gonna be a tough few years for factory ammo in 6Arc, 6.5G, 224Valk, 458Socom, etc... Capacity is tightly constrained and demand-driven production of standard stuff like .223, .308, 9mm, etc, is soaking up nearly 100% of machine time. No more steel cased Wolf 6.5G either, until Russia stops bullying its neighbors.

Yeah, I handload, but ugh it's time consuming and is something I do only to provide myself with ammo, not as a hobby or anything. I'd much rather be shooting.

FWIW PSA has stated they will be producing both brass and steel cased 6.5Grendel ammunition at their new plant that is continuing to ramp up. Both will be boxer primed, and all made from their own raw material new supply chain.

While I doubt it will be the 25 cent steel of Yor, it's an encouraging announcement.
