Unspeculated rumor mill!

I emailed Hornady a couple weeks ago regarding the possibility of producing training ammo in 300 BLK to keep down prices (the only way I could afford to take on a new caliber).

My email:
With the recent announcement of the 300 BLK, and it's planned pricepoint in the 5.56 range, does Hornady have any plans to offer a steel training version similar to to 5.56 TAP Training ammo?
Thank you for your time,
Joe

Their response:
Joe,
Very possibly, keep watching our website for new product information for 2011 over the next 90 days.

So lets cross our fingers and hope that we can buy this stuff by the case on the cheap. Anyone talked to Wolf about this yet?

If they can really keep 300 BLK ammo in the 5.56 price-point range, I'm totally in. I'll also have a stockpile of 5.56 to sell.

Very hard to imagine the price will be the same as 5.56. It might be reasonable, but just looking at the price of bullets and the fact that they will not be producing near as much, I just don't see it happening.

Cool, sounds promising.

30 cal bullets cost allot more than 223 so I cant see an equal price.

Remington ammo will cost more than 5.56mm ammo. It has to. The volumes are much lower and the bullets are heavier.

I don't believe that it could cost less, just due to manufacturing. However I think it be relatively inexpensive. It's gotta be to survive.
