"Brennan and Alexander Arms compared notes and worked together to produce the resulting cartridge, the 6.5 Grendel. Alexander Arms contracted with Lapua to finalize the specifications and to produce the brass. Brass and loaded ammunition are now available." - http://www.6mmbr.com/65grendel.html
Arne was shooting a 6.5 in PPC brass long before Bill but it was more like the 264LBC. It had a .291 neck diameter and typical throat. I had 2 of them. Arne was the first to shoot a 6.5 in a PPC case but it was not a "Grendel"
This is Arne's 6.5 reamer drawing from 1998.
