I don't write reviews often but F1firearms deserves one. The Hornady Black Brass 6.5 Grendel 123 Grain 20-Rounds ELD-M... is exactly what I was looking for. Good build quality, snug fit on my Glock 45, and the price was the best I could find after checking multiple sites. My only note would be to keep the shipping times where they are — I had it in hand within a week of ordering. Will be a repeat customer.
