The 123gr SST was a Q4 2012-Q1 2013 introduction, with a group buy through this forum numbering tens of thousands of projos.
I would actually like for Federal to get on board with Federal Fusion, as well as an economy multi-purpose bullet.
2010...I guess time flies when you're having fun. Checked in the history files and right there in August 2010 was 12 cases of 123 AMAX...I stand corrected. I'll blame having kids (twins) in 2010 for my failing memory.
Hard to guess what ATK would do. I could see FGI putting a 6.5 Grendel in the Barnes ammo line first. With Hornady and Lapua as the two sources for brass, I wouldn't bank on any of the larger ammo manufacturers adding it. Smaller boutique makers (ASYM, HPR, Nosler Custom) on the other hand would be a good bet.
