I've got some Starline 6.5 Grendel brass that just wont die. I don't have an exact number of times I've loaded it, but going through the number of projectiles I've used I can say that this brass, on average has been loaded at least 10 times. I don't anneal, so this was used as it came from the factory. I've had maybe 10 of 150 die with split necks.
I recently got out some unused brass from Starline and I've been loading it maybe 3 loadings now. I think I'm noticing better accuracy with the new brass.
I don't think the old brass has poor neck tension, I don't know that for sure. I take my time seating bullets and primers. I do notice tighter primer pockets on the new brass, but I don't feel any difference between the two when seating a bullet.
Is there any reason the newer brass would be more accurate? Maybe I'll do some test loads of old to new to see what happens, but I'd like to know your opinions on this.
