I'm holding out, right now Doc. Waiting on brass. Going to backorder a bunch. Seems that nobody around here with a .243 Win bolt gun likes those 108 ELD-Ms, and I snatch a box of them every other week. I'm up to 900 projectiles. Sitting on 16lbs of Accurate 2520, that I use for my Grendel loads. I'm always on the hunt for the (now elusive) CCI 41 primers, though. I have feelers out all over the place for those things.
I did make another call to LaRue right after the Fall Shoot - that was the 5-month mark. They told me I had a little bit longer to wait, and stated I was told from the beginning that what I ordered would be a 6-month wait - so I challenged the guy on that. No, I was told 1~3 months, at one week. I was told 2~4 months, at one month. I was told 5~6 months, at 4 months. I've been good about the calls, and bugging them, but December 17th is 6 months, and they'll get a call.
I specifically asked for information on what was holding my shipment up, because DirtBike Tommy ordered a 5.56 18" Ultimate Upper mid September, and got it in 7 weeks... Told the guy that. Told him to be straight with me - he told me the Grendel barrel is holding me up... Shiit, we shot Tommy's 18" 5.56 LaRue last weekend...
We'll see how the December 17th phonecall goes...
