6.8x43mm SPC Still In The Lead

We went to one of the gun stores yesterday and checked out the ammo selection.

Stocks seem to be recovering somewhat.

Even though .300 Blackout killed their chances at mainstream appeal, you can still get 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel ammo, but the choices are severely truncated from years ago.

6.5 is only on the shelves in the Wolf brand.

6.8 has two loadings from Hornady and a third from... Uh...  I don't remember.

Used to be five or six choices for each.

    1. Wouldn't surprise me at all. I think a lot of things are going to go up. The current administration and a lot of people supporting them have been pulling a lot of strings and doing a lot of juggling to keep the house of cards that is the economy these days from collapsing. They are running out of tricks to make inflation not look as bad as it really is. Sooner or later one of them is going to drop a ball and it will knock a lot of cards over.

  2. Inflation... it's the 70s all over again. Ammo availability is getting better but .38 Special is non-existent. Thank Cthulhu for internet ordering. -JKing

  3. Maybe I'll be able to find .30-40 Krag again at the next gun show I go to? Nah, that's crazy talk.
