Just received E-Mail from Hornady Tech, I had asked some questions concerning the .17 Hornet once fired brass being reloaded, note problem's with primer pockets and that they are now stacking the primers until they run the reworked new brass in Aug/Sept, this what he wrote back...........

Quote:
If you were to load the empty cases, you will not get the accuracy or life out of the cases. It is recommended at this time to use just factory ammunition for the time being.

I know we have reloaded some of our once fired brass, but we might want to rethink doing it, at the very least, inspect every case and be careful. He didn't go into any problems that they have seen or heard about.
Just be safe.......................
