Hornady Brass

Recommended Posts

Used some Hornady factory loads today (300 blackout -125 gr American gunner) and was shocked to find splits along the necks of several cases. This ammo I have had for a year or so at he back of the cabinet as  I generally load my own using AdI cases and recently some nozzles (feeling rich that day) with which I have not had a problem, 

These were part of three boxes I bought when I first acquired the 300 blk barrel for my Schultz and Larson legacy . One comment I would say is they looked a little tarnished and have a few marks on the cases, now wondering if they had be poorly stored. The first box I used appeared to be ok and I even reloaded the cases without incident (although I soon gave that up when I found out all the primer pockets had to be reamed out). Reading some American forums I am not the first to comment. Now thinking I should ditchHas anybody else had issues with Hornady brass

as it is I reckon the 40 rounds I have left will be scrap

Hi, I've not really had any issues with Hornady brass. I am reloading once fired .308 cases and the biggest bugbear so far has been removing the primer crimp!

You're not the first person who's had issues with Hornady brass though and there seems to be a bad batch or two by reading things online.
