Received the Starline 6.5 Grendel brass... three cases short! I was wondering, does Starline bag up their brass or does the vendor bag it up from bulk stock? I'll email Arm or Ally & ask them.
The brass is really nice... seems a bit heavier than Hornady Grendel brass & perhaps a little harder than Lapua Grendel brass. I found some cases with dented case mouths but that doesn't really matter much, 'cause I'll run the brass through my sizing dies anyway. Case lengths run from 1.508" to 1.511". In the new Hornady reloading manual it says trim-to length is 1.510". So, some of this brass is a hair short but it's close enough... not gonna fret over that.
Now, how many do I use for my Grendel & how many do I use for my 6mm ARC?
