            So has any one used Starline brass in other calibers?
            Who is it compared to regarding consistency, how many reloads are guys getting before getting neck splitting or loose primer pockets?

            Prices of Creedmoor are excellent!

              I've used Starline in 41 Mag, 44Mag, 45/70, and 32/20. In 32/20 it's the only brass I'll use because it stands up reloading 100 % better than Winchester(thin neck wall leading to crushed necks and only one or two reloads). I find it's somewhat heavier case wise in all that I've used so far so when I try it in 6.5 Grendel I'll compare it to Hornady for my use.

              In 32/20 I'm on my 6th/7th reload and have yet to lose a case, I load it fairly hot (35 - 40,000 psi) with H110 and LitGun. I really like it and plan on using it for my Grendel too.

                  In pistol calibers many use Starline by choice. (I do, for 10mm and 41 mag)

                  I'll happily use it if it becomes available in Grendel and is reasonable in cost. (What you doing will be, that's their thing)

                  I would not position it as premium brass like Lapua, but certainly would consider it the equal of Hornady or similar in most cases.

                    I love Starline Brass in 44 Magnum. It holds up really well and lasts for many re-loads. I've never used it in bottle neck calibers though.

                      Starline brass was just released for 6.8. Early reports are durable but less capacity than others. Nice to have options but I would caution folks who have loads worked up in other brass to be careful and reduce your charge weights and work up to max.

                        I use Starline brass in my .454 Casull exclusively as they hold up to high pressure loads (much better than I do). I have loaded some of the brass 11 times and it shows no sign of loose primer pockets or degradation of any kind. Great product.

                          +1 on the Starline. I have their 10mm brass and it's high quality. I won't hesitate to buy some 6.5 if they produce it.

                            I use starline in 10mm, 357 Sig, and 6.8 SPC and have had awesome results with all.

                            The 6.8 brass is very thick and rugged, and I'm assuming the Grendel brass will be similar. I caution everyone moving from Lapua or Hornady brass to do a separate load workup with the starline.
