[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1729251, member: 101755"] I have 4 home built 6.5 Grendel's, 3 home built 7.62x39 and one home built 300BO. I have piston systems in 3 of them but none eats brass. I shoot the Grendel's a lot. So much so that the head stamp is getting hard to read on many pieces of brass. I don't mess with annealing my Grendel brass even though they all shoot <MOA @ 200yds. So nearly every failure is split necks. I pick up range brass so the bulk of my brass is Hornady. I'm careful with my loads and watch velocities to make sure I'm not over pressuring the platform. So I rarely ever have to trim my brass after the first sizing. IMO if you are really after/need sub MOA it would be worth buying Lapua brass. It should last forever. If Hornady brass can handle the 8 to 10 or more reloads the Lapua should hang in there for a long time. [/QUOTE]
