Hornady Match Brass?

[Pinecone]

How is the Hornady Match Brass?

Compared to Lapua, Winchester, and Lake City (non-match) brass?

Thanks

The 6CM brass Ive got is pretty good, neck thickness is very consistent all the way around.

The .308, .243 and 6.5 Creedmoor brass I use is all very consistent and loads very accurate ammo.

Used .308, .300wm and 338lm and had very good loads with good life on all of them. Would recommend it.

There are two batches of Hornady Match Brass: one weighs 158grs. and the other 165grs. I have four reloads on the 158gr stuff and it looks like it'll hold up. I did anneal the necks after three loads, though.

The .308 once fired match brass I'm loading for a friend has to have the primer pockets chamfered before they would accept cci 200 primers, otherwise I'd crush the primer forcing them in. I've never had that issue with fed, or Win brass.

I've noticed the same thing, I've segregated TAP brass into three weight classes. Earlier TAP brass will weigh 158 grains, some newer TAP, 165 grains and the latest batches of TAP 170 + grains that have crimped primers that need to be de-crimped before loading. All of the brass loads fine. The heavier brass has thicker necks, but still good brass.
