Trying to get some I put on the Hornady Relading Brass. I have heard some mixed things and being new to reloading was curious what everyone's thoughts are.

I've used their 308 Winchester Match brass to good effect. Case weight and capacity is in between the lighter WW and heavier Lapua. It has been more uniform that plain Hornady 308 Winchester brass I've come across.

I have only used 375 Ruger brass but will ad my .02 to the thread. Initially a couple of them were a bit soft in fact the first one I tried to put a bullet in collapsed the case. Overall it was good brass though that lasted well, run out of loaded rounds was pretty good as well. I would use it again without hesitation.

I don't split hairs, but my .308 shoots great using the Hornady match-and I get it for free from a buddy who shoots TAP ammo as a PD sniper.

I shoot it in my 25-06. Used to shoot it in my 204 until I sold the rifle. Never had an problems with it.
Got some for my 35 Whelen but haven't tried it yet.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I use it in my 25-06 and in 7mm-08 as well as my 358 win. Never had any problems with it. 25-06 is on it's 5th and 8th loading.

Only experience I've had is with 100 pcs. of 6mm Rem. reformed to .224 TTH. Two pcs. split on body on first firing and three collapsed shoulder while seating bullets but otherwise shot o.k. Have 100 pcs. of .25-35 Win. on back order right now. Obviously I will buy Hornady brass again.

I've used it in 9.3X62 and my son in 375 Ruger with complete satisfaction. I also have some in 7mm Rem Mag. It is all of good quality and have been through several reloads.
The 7mm Mag brass does not feed quite as well in my rifle as does WW brass. The belt on the Hornady brass seems to drag more passing by the feed rails of my Mauser action.
I would not hesitate to buy more if needed.

I buy Hornady 6.5-284 and neck it to 6mm. I am perfectly happy.
