I previously purchased 150 NOS 6.5 Grendel cases and converted all of them without issue. Hornady sizing die barely noticed them, so they formed readily. After the first firing I annealed the cases and loaded again. I've been quite fortunate with the lube, having not dented a single neck to this point.
6.8 REM SPC on the other hand...whoo boy! I may opt for Hornady One Shot on them next time. Using the Hornady Unique Case Lube they look like I used a wheel bearing race as a neck bushing. Really embrassing. Lesson learned, start with "that's not enough"...then use less than that!
