Kilco, "thick and rugged" makes me wonder if the capacity of Starline is less than comparable cases. What you think?

In my experience, yes, Starline is heavier and takes a smaller charge to equal speed/pressure of other cases thus I will start lower when developing Grendel loads with it and will stay about 1 1/2 gr. under what is max in other cases."Wild flower, growin' thru the cracks in the street" - Problem Child by Little Big Town

My 6.8 load for 90gr gold dots using Hornady brass was 30.2 grains CFEBLK.
When I switched to starline I reduced my first batch to 29.5gr. (Should have went lower). First shot popped a primer. Literally no joke my first popped primer in years of shooting/handloading for AR type rifles.
I'm finding the brass to be very strong. 5 reloads and primer pockets are still very tight.

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.Let's go Brandon!

Based on my experience with Hornady Grendel brass so far, even starline will have a hard time pulling me away.
10-12 reloads using a max charge of 8208 under a 123gr bullet still impresses me... and primer pockets are relatively tight when I chuck as well.

here is some info-
I was one of the first if not the first to have the new brass (blessings of living down the road from Starline and Sierra :cool:) and although I was TDY and didnt get to play much with them, I did get asked about some measurements on them. I am home now and got to throw em in the calipers and on scale so here we go. I took― George Orwell

I thought PF was getting out of the Grendel ammo business. I'd missed an update where he committed to continue.
