Thread: Exprience with modern Hornady Brass?

I can also add that I anneal them at least every second time I reload them and I am not running stupid hot loads.
In the beginning of the season I weight-sort them and out of about 250 pieces of brass the weight differs about 11gr. See pic below for an idea of the amount of difference:

That measure really tells the story. Thankyou for the effort.
I use norma brass in four calibres and within each calibre (.308win; 6.5*55 ,
30-06spr and 308NMag I find only 0-3grains variance even using different lots.
I understand Lapua is even better.
