Don’t bother with Hornady 22-250 brass…

[Tanner]

Quick update: Hornady is sending me 100 replacement cases. They were about as good to talk to on the phone as I could have asked for. They were pretty surprised by the split necks and asked me to let them know if any of the new stuff exhibits similar issues.

I want to add a pic of a piece of Hornady brass I just noticed. This is 2x fired brass and I’m 1 grain under book max with round primers, so there is no high pressure here. 6.5 cm

Glad I saw this,was considering pulling the trigger on some of this on sale at midsouth.

I've heard ppu is a decent cheaper choice.
I keep wondering when someones going to finally address this quality 22-250 brass shortage that's been going on for years seemingly,hint hint starline etc.

Glad to hear Hornady is trying to make it right. I haven’t had issues with their brass, but stuff happens. For my 22-250 AI, I used PPU brass and it worked great.

Hornady brass has always been garbage, this isn't front page news.

What he said... of all the brass makers i love hornady the least.
