    I found with my Grendel that it preferred full length sizing. I ran into trouble necking only with tight brass, especially if running at near it's max pressure.

    I second that.. its a hot little case and doesnt respond well to neck sizing only. Its the only cartridge I full body size every load

    Don’t bother mate just bump your sholder 2 thou or do a proper full length resize
    Went down the ns route a few times but never much luck in several caliber’s includeing Grendel
    They get tight after a couple of fireings then you have to fls
    That’s not consistent if you bump the sholder every fireing you’re brass will be exactly the same every loading
    Not the same for 2 then smaller on the 3rd etc

    Hows the Grendel going anyway happy with it
