I have not shot the Starline brass enough to comment about durability but I suspect it will be close to the same.
Back during the shortage I bought 1 pack of 100 6.5 brass, had thought about selling or giving away. But since then got 1000 6arc starline brass and about 200 once fired Hornady. So was wondering about running the same load in different brass
New to reloading , still learning so wasn't sure about anything .  Now I'm going to use the starline 6arc brass, then the Hornady then go back to the 6.5 brass. Since I am a hunter with very little range time thrown in should be 6-8 years before I get thru all the new 6arc starline brass and have to worry about changing over.

My mind spins every time I try to form a plan on what I'm doing . My original thought was to reload so I could run the Hornady 90gr GMX/CX bullets then changed to the 103ELD-X but trying for a better round for my bolt gun.Now I spend more time thinking about which way to go than I do actually doing anything 

Thanks for the comment
