I was real impressed with the weight consistancy and runnout I got from some 30-06 hornady brass a year or so back.
Then I found a distributor with HORNADY 300 WEATHERBY BRASS. (Sounds unusual but true) Tonight a friend called and announced he had won a 300 wby and asked if I'd load him a little sample of some bullets. I opened up the box of these Hornady's and started to look them over. The case mouths were almost round enough to load but needed a little straightening and some chamfering. I Plunged them onto the expander ball of a Hornady .308 neck die (didn't go further than the expander ball) and proceeded to check for runnout. MOst everything hovered at approx .001" runnout---WOW. A few were up around .003" but I found very small dings in the case body that caused the flucuation of the runnout gauge. The loaded ammo came out great with virtually every bullet under .003" and probably 1/2 of the ammo between .001" and .002".
I can hardly wait to check them after being once fired and being run through my forester dies.

This stuff is awesome--I don't know who makes it for them or how they specify the super tolerances but WOW--they are virtual "match grade" brass in my book. Maybe I got lucky 2x's but would tell you to give them a try and see for yourself.

I've found Hornady Brass to be very high quality. I only wish they keep on increasing the selection.

I wandered into the Hornady plant in Grand Island a few years back when I was working in Nebraska, and if I recollect correctly, they make their own brass, at least they had the machinery for it there and were doing some at the time. I don't know if that applies to all calibers or not, but they certainly make some of their own stuff. - Dan

I also like hornady compoanants,very high quality at a good price.

I use their 7mm rem mag cases, they are very high quality.

I'm almost positive that Olin is Hornady's main supplier of brass.

At one time Federal made Hornady brass or visa versa....
