If Howa would go back to SS I’d be on the mini. As it sits, the kids are shooting my Kimber 223 with a pair of 6 Creeds standing by for when they step up in recoil.
Yup.

Now house it in a micro bolt action (in stainless) and they will sell. Bonus points for a trim stock. Was thinking one in SS with a youth stock would be a killer little rifle for wife/kids. 103s for play and 95 lrx to take care of business. Not just for the wife and kids. This is about what I have been looking for for a woods deer rifle. Was going to build a 6x45 or a 6mm br, but this will be better if it has good factory support. +1

Pretty sure it's Legacy driving that bus, not Howa. I've had down-under types tell me they get SS Minis. Weatherby still sells SS Vanguards. Anyway, while I definitely prefer SS, I'm not gonna fret over a $400 rifle getting a few freckles. Have an extra stock fom my $359 Mini Grendel package. Have to keep an eye out for barreled actions at Brownells.
What fresh Hell is this?

Watching YouTube vids. Hornady says basically it'll get at least 100 fps more hand loading above Salami for bolt guns..

Id bet at east 100fps more....you could load to the case pressure, and not the hogged out AR bolt pressure limitations.

I’m sure folks will be waiting for others to start making some good brass, or just make their own from other stuff, and others had rather just go pick up some good AMMO at a box store....PPC will still be an outlier as far as market goes....the better cartridge rarely gets mainstream, it seems. There’s a passion for the easy button these days.

I like the case design better than the PPC. The horror.

For those who don’t want the Hornady brass can you not just neck Grendel lapua brass down or have I misunderstood something?
I would rather have lapua brass too and would likely do that if it’s a option. That said I think the hornady brass will be fine for a deer rifle.

From what I can tell it would require a shoulder bump and a trim to use Grendel brass.
Hell...Reloading/Shooting are still my favorite things to do,besides play in the box the kids came in.................

Pretty much same as the 6mm Grendel, 243LBC, and 6mm AR. I'm sure it would be easy to form up some Lapua 6.5 brass. I'm very excited about this 6mm ARC and using some Barnes 85 TTSX for deer and pig slaying
