It is and I get it all mail order. About $1/round.

From who may I ask, GRAFS ?

Nice color on that campmeat! What do they call that one? Is it duracoated or cerakoated?

You have to thank Biggerhammer. I bought it from him and he's in the know..sorry.

I've purchased from a few - Selway Armory, Midway, Cheaper than Dirt, and a couple others I can't remember. I know Hammer has some for sale and no shipping charge for $100+ orders.

I have a bunch of 6.5 Grendel in stock but it's all 123gr A-Max. Having used the Grendel extensively over the years and having shot mulies with the A-Max. I would opt for the Hornady 123gr SST as a hunting load over the A-Max.

We are waiting for a shipment of Hornady 123gr SST ammunition to arrive. With our 6% discount to Hunt WA members and free shipping on orders over $99. It works out to just under a $1.00 a round for the A-Max or SST in Hornady factory loads.

Makes a guy wonder why guys are building 5.56's to shoot the heavier bullet with factory ammo. The cost of heavier match 5.56 ammo is almost always more than 19.00 a box/20. The Grendel with the 123gr A-Max walks all over the heavier 5.56 loads. Performance and energy wise and you can legally hunt with the Grendel/ .264 LBC.

That's a mix of several heat cured Cerakote colors.

Lemme know when you get a $100 + worth in for me. I always have to get my welfare check first to pay for my addictions....

What is are balisitics like on the A-30?

It isn't a canyon burner but it's about as cool as it gets for a .30 Cal on a AR platform. ALittle over 2600fps with a 125gr bullet out of a 18" barrel. I figure it as my solid 300 yard big game AR, past that I'll pick up the 6.5 LBC/ Grendel. I originally built this SPR as a 16" rifle length gas .264 LBC/Grendel. Just couldn't handle that A30 barrel laying on the bench waiting to be built so I swapped the Grendel barrel out for the A30.

[Yondering]

That sounds pretty good.

What do you do for magazines and bolts for that round? Are they 6.8 parts, or

Also, how much powder are you burning with 125gr bullets in the A-30?
