Hornady only started producing the factory loaded ammo in late 2012, then the hyper market hit and derailed everyone's carefully laid merchandising plans for 2013. Visiting a dealer recently, I found Lapua Grendel brass in stock. The market is very much normalizing and manufacturers are thinking about niche products again.
What major manufacturer would you like to see a 6.5 Grendel from?
Middle man, you are off by a couple years on when Hornady factory ammo first appeared. I bought my first factory ammo in early 2010 if I remember right. Theres a review on Youtube from Oct 2009. The newest 123 load using the SST appeared in late 2012, but the Amax load has been in the market approaching 4 years.
