Just wanted to check on this, as i cant find anything for or against, but i suspect its fine.

But a leman russ arriving from strategic reserve, and not moving more than 5" onto the battlefield (can squeeze in either sideways, or just enough if equipped with front mounted h.bolter/h.flamer) cant still fire twice with its turret weapon using the Grinding Advance ability?

If this model Remains Stationary or moves under half speed in its Movement phase (i.e. it moves a distance in inches less than half of its current Move characteristic) it can shoot its turret weapon twice in the following Shooting phase (the turret weapon must target the same unit both times). The following weapons are turret weapons: battle cannon; eradicator nova cannon; exterminator autocannon; vanquisher battle cannon; demolisher cannon; executioner plasma cannon; punisher gatling cannon.

Arriving as reinforcements counts as having moved the full movement characteristic, so a Leman Russ can’t benefit from “Grinding Advance” in the turn it arrives from reserve.

From the Core Rules (emphasis mine):
Reinforcement units cannot make a Normal Move, Advance, Fall Back or Remain Stationary in the turn they arrive for any reason, but they can otherwise act normally (shoot, charge, fight etc.). Models in units that arrived as Reinforcements count as having moved a distance in inches equal to their Move (M) characteristic in this Movement phase. If models in the unit have a minimum Move characteristic, those models count as having moved a distance in inches equal to their maximum Move characteristic.
