I'm gonna be in the market for some 308Win brass. Is anybody using the Hornady brass? Is it worth 10 bucks more per 50 then Win or Rem?

I'm probably not much help but I've been buying it in 300 wby and find it to be very very good brass. Great wt consistancy and loaded runnout is very good.

I had some Hornady .300 Win. Mag. brass that I didn't care for. The reason was that it had a very short OAL that was way under SAMMI specs, so the neck was really, really short. I like to neck-size new cases and then trim the necks square, but I would have made a bad neck situation even worse by following that practice with that particular lot of brass.

So at least in .300 Win. Mag., I stick with Winchester cases.

I use it in 7mm RM and find it to be superior brass close to lapua in my opinion

I was looking around at the prices and it cost a few bucks more then the lapua in 308win.
I have some New Federal match brass coming but I like to use at lest 2 or 3 brands of brass for bench work.

I hear they are now making their own but for many years they were contracting both Winchester and Remington to make it for them. I used their Frontier brass in .338 Win Mag which at the time was contracted to Winchester. I found it superior to Winchester brass in consistent weight and preferred it. Their specs were probably tighter than Winchester's which is the only way I can account for it. Lots of each weighed about the same, 237g dry but it was just more conistent for me. I haven't used any more recent than the last couple of years.

NO!!

As with any product you are going to get guys:

Who really like it (kraky, Rob1SG)
Those who are sort of neutral (Bob338)
And Those who hate it (allen day, vapodog)

My suggestion is to just go out and buy it, and if you like it, you like it, and if you don't, you don't.
