The only issue I've ever had with it was in .243
It didn't like to eject from my son's Ruger. The extractor simply wouldn't hold it to the breechface. It would ride along and then just kind of stop/drop off over the other rounds in the rifle.
Pulling the bolt and snapping the brass into the extractor, holding it tight to the breech face there was considerable clearance between the extractor and the brass.
Did not have this problem with Federal or Winchester brass as it filled out that area nicely with no issues at all.
I'm sure I'm not describing it well.

I use it in my .308 range gun with excellent results.

Hornady brass marked "frontier" is made by Winchester
The rest is made in Grand Island by the Hornady company and IMO it's as good as anyone's including the higher priced Nosler stuff.

I've got some horn 300wby from years ago when it was $24/50. Its got a little less case capacity than Norma but its wonderfully consistant and makes extremely accurate ammo even on the first loading.

I'm fixing to try some this summer in a 6 Creedmoor. Will spill my guts after I try them.

I've already tried the Hornady Creedmoor brass. It's about as good as it gets.

Hornady brass quality is excellent.

Their 6.5 Grendel brass sucks compared to the AA and Lapua brass.
But I'm reforming to 6 Rat...It's way too soft

I've used their 308 match brass, and it's quite good.

Huntz,
Guess I'm the oddball but the 375 Ruger brass I got from Hornady was all dinged, dented, and ugly. Wish I took pics of it but I cursed this brass and lack of other sources. Some case mouths and necks looked like they had been stepped on. IIRC, this was 2 boxes of 50 so its not the best sample size.
PS - not a writer.

The Creedmoor brass is excellent.
I had 400 rounds of .300 win mag brass though that was a different story. Some head stamped "Frontier" and some "Hornady"
It was all once fired brass. MANY of the primer pockets were so loose that they would not hold a new primer.
Ditched all of it.

Maybe more of a problem of the rifle it was shot in?
Sure it was only once fired?

I love the resultant thread titles on the home page when the site decides to cut them off because they are too long.

Someone on Saubier.com bought a bag of Remington .22 Hornet brass, and it was marked Hornady in the bag.......... Some stuff Hornady gets from Remington, which is one of the reasons you can't get any .17 Hornet ammo right now, Remington can't make it to the quality Hornady demands.
