Just wondering if anyone has used starline 6.5 grendel “basic” brass to form down into any of the wildcat grendel cartridges. With 6.5 grendel brass so hard to find I’m considering picking some up to form 6MM grendel from them. Any reports on how they hold up to pressure and multiple reloads would be great. Even info on using starline 6.5 grendel formed brass for 6MM Grendel would help give me an idea of starline quality vs Norma or Lapua. Thanks!
 
No clue on the basic brass...might be a chore if you are just necking down, but post up here if you go for it. I would say lapua>starline>hornady. I have no experience with norma. Considering the price starline is going for, I’d wait for Lapua.
I’m necking down lapua to 6mm and 22 with a redding s bushing die.
