22 ARC components.

Ok so here we go, a new caliber but cant find dies, brass, or loaded ammo for that matter. I've got a reamer, action, barrel etc but cant find brass or dies.

Being that this is a 6.5 grendal can a guy just use 6.5 grendal brass, dies, etc? Kinda the same think we do on the 7-6.5 stuff. Seems like just a change of a bushing.

Anyone else done this yet?

Thanks

Yep. Prior to Hornady making this a SAMMI Cartridge. It was know by a few names as a wild cat like so many now factory cartridges that have came about. ( almost all of them really)
224 Grendel, 224 Predetor are a couple. I have shot out two barrels in this chambering long before Hornady came out with it. ( same thing for the 6 ARC which was a 6mm AR )

6.5 Grendel bushing die and some 6.5 Grendel brass and your ready to roll

It is good that you can just neck down 6.5, because that gives some good brass options.
