VASCAR2 Wrote:Barnes was bought out by the Remington/Freedom Group and Barnes released ammunition for the 6.5 Grendel at about the same time Remington released 6.5 Grendel ammunition. After the bankruptcy I dont know if Vista Outdoors/Federal bought Barnes but I read Vista is now operating Remington ammunition production. My guess it is either coming from the original source of Remington brass or Federal since Federal sells 6.5 Grendel ammunition. Remington 6.5 Grendel brass was reportedly better than Federal 6.5 Grendel brass.
Federal 6.5 Grendel brass is not very good brass for reloaders so hopefully Barnes is using Remington. I have no first hand experience with Remington 6.5 Grendel ammunition or brass but a few forum members bought Remington 6.5 Grendel ammo.
No help to the OP, but Sierra bought Barnes.
Let's go Brandon!
