You can't go wrong buying Lapua brass. I don't really have any lifespan data for the Lapua since I'm only on the 4th cycle for the 500 I bought initially for the rifle.
My Grendel is running the Superior Shooting Systems chrome silicon flat wire buffer spring for an AR15. It also uses the Carrier Weight System from the same house. If you're going to push the heavier, higher BC 6.5 bullets, I would suggest considering these upgrades.
My 28 inch Satern barrel wears a PWS-FSC compensator that seems to work well. I like that it doesn't kick up dirt, and with the lighter bullets and the weight of the gun, it recoils like a .177 pellet gun. I believe an efficient compensator on a 19.5 inch barrel would be very helpful.
You're going to love that Shilen barrel and the 6.5 Grendel round.
