As I continue to agonize over a rifle purchase, one interesting possibility that stands out is this:

The Grendel is an interesting intermediate round, having amazing ballistics for its class. I understand that factory ammo will never be as cheap and available as for the .223 or x39, but I'm in California and that's going to be a moot point for me come Jan 1 when new Draconian ammo laws kick in, turning me into a roll my only type.
With the growing popularity of the 6.5 Creedmoor, there's a growing selection of 6.5mm bullets available, and some of them are pretty cheap. It's the brass supply that concerns me.The Grendel is still a bit of a boutique round that doesn't have a big mainstream following. The concern is that I buy a rifle chambered for it, and a few years down the line I have to resort to scouring gun shows and online auction sites for rare brass at inflated prices.
