And there is much rejoicing!
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - Old Bob - 03-21-2023
Cool! I wonder when they'll actually be available.
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - GRH - 03-21-2023
Probably around the same time primers trickle down from Expansion Industries, well after they fulfill the big contracts in place before production even begins.
Despite all the damage control reassurances from various component manufacturers, reloading always takes last place to ammo production.

Sweet. Is it "mid 2023" yet?
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - CZ527 Guy - 03-21-2023
Looking at price & availability of there current offerings, I am not sure what to think about what seems to be good news here.

Yep, it may end up being a tease for those of us without influence and/or money.

I am still watching, hoping for Starline offering in 6mm ARC.

Starline said that a year ago. I hope that Peterson is faster!

I called Hornady about this time last year about cases when I was trying to scrape together enough components. The rather annoyed sounding woman said it would be 6-9 months as they were putting everything into ammo manufacturing.
.........(insert crickets here)........
Even better, I found a guy selling 200 new Starline 6.5Gr cases and not even price gouging. Have added to that since and now something over 300 new Starline cases that I haven't touched yet.
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - markr6754 - 03-27-2023
These cases may be available before Starline ever fills my backorder for Grendel Basic Brass. Either way, good news on the horizon. Another manufacturer joining the party helps to validate the cartridge..not that any one here is seeking validation.
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - CZ527 Guy - 03-27-2023
Why would you wish to mess with the Grendel basic brass? Or more to the point why not start off with 6.5 mm Grendel brass for forming the 6mm ARC brass?

#1: Have had zero success finding 6.5 Grendel brass since my initial order of 150 new Nosler 6.5 Grendel Blems last June. Never found a blem, but I believe it was trimmed a bit short for 6.5 Grendel, perfect for 6mm ARC.
#2: It was available for Backorder...my last backorder for 6.8 Rem SPC was filled 4 days after order. Very much delayed this time. In reality, when Starline can't fill a backorder in 30 days, they give you a do-over. They don't charge CC on order, but on ship. No CC re-confirmation - no ship.
#3: Never been formed, so it's perfect for forming into whatever caliber you want for that case head...7.62x39, 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, 6mm Grendel and etc.
#4: No headstamp...no way to confuse with converted 6.5 Grendel cases
#5: I have everything needed to take a blank case and produce a 6mm ARC case, as well as a whitepaper from Starline on how to do it right.

Keep us posted.
look forward to photos.

Thanks for the info on the new brass source.

Early to mid 2023, What will that work out like in reality?
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - markr6754 - 04-21-2023
Starline 6.5 Grendel brass again open for backorders. I placed mine yesterday. It looks like my Grendel Basic plans will fall through. The Grendel Basic never did ship...and it's priced 42% higher than fully formed 6.5 Grendel.

Again: with Starline, open for backorders indicates item is presently in stock.
Will probably be sold out in a few hours, so jump on it if you need it. Price & quality is quite attractive in todays market.
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - grayfox - 04-21-2023
BTW, druid hill also has starline grendel in stock as of now, 30-ish bags x100 ea, for $60/100, not too shabby.
RE: New 6mm ARC brass supply - CZ527 Guy - 04-22-2023
Buy direct from starline is another option in terms of pricing. Starline site is misleading. When it shows Backordered. Currently avaiable for order though will not last long. That it is it won't last long & though you can add to your cart. 250 pc minimum may be less than desirable for some I suppose. 200 pc Maximum order size.
