...the production of 6ARC brass by any manufacturer will be welcomed, but I suspect pricing will be pretty much in line with whatever 6.5Grendel brass is going for at the time.
...I can't recall the specific forum where I saw a pic of cross-cut cases (Lapua, Norma, Hornady, Starline, etc.) but there was commentary that despite the Lapua's good reputation, it was theorized that the juncture of the base to wall angle of the Lapua brass was "weaker" and attributed to reports of the "Grendel Belt" in fired cases. I don't have any personal experience with Lapua brass, but these kind of "reports" at times do cause me pause about purchasing it, can't truly determine if its worth the roughly 100% increase in cost per casing. But as I have done in the past, if its the only component available at the time, I'd buy it.....just like I did when buying the Starline 6.5G brass and the bullets I have tested. To be honest, every 6ARC component and reloading dies I have were purchased only because those were the only available ones when I committed to 6ARC.
