PPU brass loaded to Hornady specs but with a larger rifle primer? Am I safe?

You’ll have to see how the Small Rifle Primer new PPU brass does for you.

I’ve also noticed with Federal Grendel brass (SRP) that it doesn’t last many loads in a gas gun for me, but in a bolt gun, it didn’t seem to exhibit anywhere near the same wear and tear and even didn’t mind being loaded warmer.

My go-to brass is Lapua and Hornady. I don’t have any Starline so I can’t compare, but others already have here and have a lot of positive experienced to relate from what I recall.

Lapua is the king of the hill in the whole brass quality/longevity metric.
