[QUOTE="bwaites, post: 164628, member: 8733"] Lapua makes Grendel brass, both for themselves and with Alexander Arms headstamp. Identical otherwise. This brass comes with a small primer pocket. Wolf also makes Grendel brass, which I suspect is simply reformed 7.62x39 brass. The Wolf has a large primer pocket. So I don't have to form brass, it's already done. I just have to figure out the most cost effective way to get the job done! I have loaded both, I load the Wolf brass a little light because of the larger primer, but there really isn't a source that identifies if the Magnum small primers (which is the recommended primer for the Lapua brass) and a standard large rifle primer are roughly equal. I wondered if there was much difference, or if I should just continue my lighter loading practice. The Grendel 6.5 is notorious for NOT showing pressure signs, so there isn't a good way to use them as a guide. Bill [/QUOTE]
