Welcome to the forum giff! There was a thread a few days ago in the reloading section Lapua brass was in stock. You can watch Starline brass web site they open their back order for 6.5 Grendel frequently. If you put in a back order it usually ships within a week or two. It appears Hornady may have just released some brass as it was showing up in stock at a few places.
I used 7.62x39 brass fire formed to 6.5 Grendel. It will work but it is not really worth the expense as you get so few reloads with x39 brass. It is better and cheaper in the long run to use 6.5 Grendel brass. Ive used the large rifle primer PPU 6.5 Grendel brass which varies in quality from lot to lot. The newer small rifle primer PPU 6.5 Grendel brass appears to be better quality. Federal brass does not hold up as well as Lapua, Hornady or Starline 6.5 Grendel brass. Remington sold a little 6.5 Grendel ammunition and reports are the Remington 6.5 Grendel brass was decent. There have been no reports on Remington 6.5 Grendel ammunition since being bought by Vista Outdoors.
I found the thread on the Lapua brass which was posted on 1-19-222. I checked the link and the brass is now sold out. If you find brass in stock you better order as quickly as possible as 6.5 Grendel brass sells out very quickly.
