And on the first run, if not careful, a few case necks may collapse when beiing squeezed down to 6.5. Also, usually you'll need to adjust the die down a touch, to get correct headspace. But annealing, turning, etc; none of that is necessary. Just run it like it's regular brass, and you'll be fine. I've gotten some remarkable accuracy actually from 7.62x39 brass in fact - just try to match headstamp if you can.
FWIW, PMC is my favorite. Though Hornady 7.62x39 brass I'm pretty sure is run on same blanks as Grendel, and it may actually have same volume even. They even make small primer 7.62x39 Hornady brass, and once you convert it, very hard to distinguish from basic Hornady grendel brass.
All that said, the linked STARLINE commercial brass posted above, is obviously the easier and likely better route, now that such is available.
