Starline Brass, who has used it and what do you think?
I have read some the brass makers for the 6.5G have smaller primer pockets? I believe I read it on the forum
Small rifle primers, which are the standard for the Grendel, are all the same diameter, excluding any potential conversations about manufacturing tolerances. I think PPU has sold some ammo with large rifle primers. 7.62x39 cases use large rifle primers.

6.5 Grendel is a Small Rifle Primer cartridge.
I would recommend getting these Handbooks we put together and published, read them in-depth, and most of your questions and more will be answered pretty comprehensively.

Run out is typical starline, very good. Not lapua good, but hornady good.
They will take all small rifle primers I have tried (federal AR match, Rem 7 1/2s, CCI #41 and CCI #450s.
Virgin Starline has slightly less capacity as Hornady or Lapua, so dont throw your Hornady/Lapua spec charges in Starline brass and expect the same results. I suggest an independent load workup.
kilco, have you done a volume test to see how much capacity difference there is between these case or is their another source for the difference in the volume capacity? and how much is the difference is there? the reason why I ask is the Starline brass seems to be a decent price, but if the performance isn't there then I may need to look at other brass?

I haven't done a volume test, but the performance and value is certainly good. Starline makes good stuff. The slightly lower capacity doesn't handicap me at all, just takes a little less powder to get equal velocity compared to other manufacturers.
