    New Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor Brass


    Just got 50 pieces of new brass from Hornady in 6.5 Creedmoor. They really look like Lapua brass. Primer holes are drilled, brass is annealed and even the box is identical to the Lapua brass boxes only with a different label. Price is less but the brass do impress! Makes me wonder.

    I have a bunch of the Hornady brass,it works well,but it only last 4-5 loading's before the primer pockets get really loose. I don't load anywhere near max loads,the brass just isn't made very well,IMO.

    about the same here i got 3-4 loadings with 42.0 gr of h4350 now i'm on 6 using the lc match and lapua even took some up to 43.0 just to see some pressure signs non but i still brought it back down for accuracy reasons and i had the vel needed for 1000 yards which is what this rifle is going to be used for.
