The Hornady brass being made (whether by them or somebody else) a year or so after the cartridge appeared in 2007 was excellent. Bought a few boxes of factory ammo with my first Creedmoor, a Hawkeye with a 26" barrel, and the ammo not only shot very well but the fired brass was VERY consistent.

Dunno if that's still true. Bought a bag early this year for my present Creedmoor, an RAR Predator, but haven't tried it yet.
