    WTB: 6mm Arc or 6.5 Grendel brass

    I'm looking for a quantity of 6mm Arc brass (actually any quantity) which appears to be hard to find.

    I've dug around and it appears that 6.5 Grendel brass can be ran through the 6mm Arc die and then trimmed, so I would look at some of it too.

    Thanks,

    Ed

    Ed,
    If you have to, 7.62x39 cases can be reformed to 6mm ARC as well. Good luck on the search!

    Hey Bruce, I have a lot of 7.62x39 brass. Been waiting since December for Arc brass with no end in sight. I really wasn't wanting to go into forming brass, but man ... this is bad and am now considering it. I have bullets, powder and even primers, but no brass. I did find some articles where folks have had luck converting 6.5 Grendel brass with little effort, but that stuff is not to be found either. Starline does sell Grendel brass, but it has been on backorder forever.

    If you have any idea of the steps and/or gear required to go from 7.62x39 to 6mm ARC could you PM them to me?

    Thanks!

    Ed

    I would still prefer to get a handful of Arc brass if anyone has some.

    Where are you located? Sportsman’s warehouse in crescent hills, KY, just south of Cincinnati, had 6mm arc ammo.

    Well, it does appear that Hornady loaded ammo is slowly leaking out now. Gone_rabid got me looking again and I did find a box of 6mm Arc with $4.99 shipping. My small handful of brass is on the way.

    Thanks for all of the input from you folks and take care out there!
