Here is some Nosler brass for sale but not cheap for just 50 cases. I have ordered from them before and they are OK.

Shooters Pro Shop has 123 grain Nosler Custom Competition ammo on sale. It might be cheaper to buy Nosler ammo than just buying their expensive brass. Starline released a back order for 6.5 Grendel brass a week a two ago. I suggest signing up for notification with Starline. The Starline 6.5 Grendel back order was gone in about 24 hours. If you find brass you have to act fast or it is sold out.

Grafs & Son also have Nosler brass but it is even more expensive. Ive bought from Shooters Pro Shop and Grafs both are gtg.

This.
Also, don't write off 7.62x39. If you can find a large batch of same headstamp for cheap, 7.62x39 brass runs and shoots just fine in 6.5 Grendel.

CJW Wrote:Didnt know that LazyENo problem. Just be aware it will need it's own load data (smaller case capacity). And on the first run, if not careful, a few case necks may collapse when beiing squeezed down to 6.5. Also, usually you'll need to adjust the die down a touch, to get correct headspace. But annealing, turning, etc; none of that is necessary. Just run it like it's regular brass, and you'll be fine. I've gotten some remarkable accuracy actually from 7.62x39 brass in fact - just try to match headstamp if you can.
FWIW, PMC is my favorite. Though Hornady 7.62x39 brass I'm pretty sure is run on same blanks as Grendel, and it may actually have same volume even. They even make small primer 7.62x39 Hornady brass, and once you convert it, very hard to distinguish from basic Hornady grendel brass.
All that said, the linked STARLINE commercial brass posted above, is obviously the easier and likely better route, now that such is available.
