I'd been thinking about trying some of the Starline 6.5 Grendel brass as the basis for 22 Grendel & 6RAT barrels on Howa Mini actions. I've had the RAT up & running for the better part of a year now, and am waiting on a bbl blank from Krieger & 22 Grendel reamer & go gauge from PTG. Starline's had a pretty good reputation for quality among action pistol shooters, but I haven't heard much out of anyone shooting their rifle brass (would have to believe it's got to be better than some of the Winchester brass I've heard horror stories about recently). I'd bought 1000pcs of AA 6.5 Grendel, made by Lapua, as the pricing was outstanding for the quality. But now that they show only Hornady Grendel brass on their website, decided to try some of the Starline. Ordered just one of their 250ct boxes, will form some over to 6RAT & see how I get along with it.
