#1: Have had zero success finding 6.5 Grendel brass since my initial order of 150 new Nosler 6.5 Grendel Blems last June. Never found a blem, but I believe it was trimmed a bit short for 6.5 Grendel, perfect for 6mm ARC.
#2: It was available for Backorder...my last backorder for 6.8 Rem SPC was filled 4 days after order. Very much delayed this time. In reality, when Starline can't fill a backorder in 30 days, they give you a do-over. They don't charge CC on order, but on ship. No CC re-confirmation - no ship.
#3: Never been formed, so it's perfect for forming into whatever caliber you want for that case head...7.62x39, 6mm ARC, 6.5 Grendel, 6mm Grendel and etc.
#4: No headstamp...no way to confuse with converted 6.5 Grendel cases
#5: I have everything needed to take a blank case and produce a 6mm ARC case, as well as a whitepaper from Starline on how to do it right.
