Hornady’s brass cases offers re-loaders excellent uniformity in wall thickness, weight and internal capacity. The cases allow proper seating of the bullet, not only in the case, but in the chamber as well.

Pressure signs will be apparent; case head expansion, unduly neck streaching, primer pockets will open to the point of the primer being loosely seated, which is not advisable to reload, which will allow gas to escape and corode bolt faces…. which can happen after one very hot load.
Remington verses Lapua, which I have of both, last just as long as any other brand.
I’ve got great accuracy with all brass brands. Lupua has higher QC when manufacturing thier brass, but doesn’t mean it’s better in my experience.
Don’t be fooled to believe that hot loads are the most accurate or needed to hunt with, that’s just pure non-sense. Hot loads or max loads are what people want not nessesariy what we need, as per Sierra bullet tech. once told me. I would advise yuo to thoroughly read through a reloading manual to be familiar with the basics of handloading.

Well its all relevant to a number of things. First of all I discard brass with cracks and loose primer pockets and stretched at the web. FL sizing will reduce your brass life. Then if you anneal your brass it will last longer as well. Also your brass will last longer if you shoot mild versus hot loads. Different brands of brass will have different life spans dependent on how hard or soft it is. On top of the variables I’ve already mentioned. It is not uncommitted to get 10 loadings before discarding though.

I randomly took five cases from each of two boxes containing fifty each. I measured each critical dimension and found all well within the recommended reloading manual specifications with little variation from case to case. In my opinion these cases can be loaded right out of the box with no preparation. However in keeping with safe reloading practices, you should still measure and inspect each case before loading.
