Finally fired my Grendel. 18" with mid length gas system. It is a little hard on the brass. After break in, I removed a round that was chambered from mag when cycled normal. It had a fairly large dent in the shoulder. The "17" round mag is worse than the "26" mag. I don't have a 10. These are all factory Hornady. They remove a little hard, but I think that may be remedied with later lots. My AA(Lapua) ammo chambers easier and extracts(without firing) much easier.
I'm more concerned with the dent going into the chamber.

Also, from the pics, you can see the rings on fired brass. The brass is on the verge of being oversized. I took one and ran through the reloading die, ejects much easier after adjusting die.
