The cases come out looking like a Grendel, I use Grendel dies (actually the bushing neck die is for a PPC) and it all just works. I appreciate the throat geometry does influence accuracy, but I'll put my money on Mr Palisimo understanding that. That is what the P in BPC stands for, Brindell Palisimo Cartridge. As it happens, I'm selling my 6.5 BPC reamer with the go/nogo gauges but the postage will be a killer for you.
As for 'get a bigger cartridge' as espoused by rabiddawg; well chuckles if you can fit a bigger cartridge into the mini actions we use here I'll take my hat off to you. The CZ527 is pretty much maxed out on the Grendel, as is the Zastava m85 and the Howa Mini. Only those who think a Rem Model 7 is a 'mini' action would countenance such a discussion.
I respectfully disagree on the Zastava (Interarms Mk X mini Mauser) being maxed out as I run my Grendel-Max to an overall length of 2.405 with 4 down in my altered mag that has 2.470 internal length and it works very well. In fact I am away in the morning after deer and goats with mine.
I know the OP was looking only at the SAAMI Grendel but ----------------
