[QUOTE="RWE, post: 3083253, member: 20736"] Send me all the Hornady brass you want throw away! I have used a few brands but when I started on my 308 I used Hornady Match brass (from a case of factory ammo). I used it until I lost count of reloadings at 8-10xs (nephew put it all in the tumbler... now it is AR10 fodder). A friend gave me a case of once fired FGMM brass, that is where I learned about work hardening cases and therefore poor man annealing (torch n' socket). It works! Bought a new rifle and 300 pieces of new/virgin Hornady brass. Have never fired factory ammo in that gun. One batch of 50 was fired a week ago at loading #8. It is now on the bench waiting to be poor man annealed and go for #9. Oh, and with that ammo I (ME!!) was getting the steel plates out to 1220 with that crappy brass and my loads with ELD-M's. Even got a first round hit on a steel silo/hostage taker target - middle forhead of taker - 626 yards - ON PURPOSE EVEN!!!!!! I am limited in experence as to brands of brass, having not used Alpha, Petersons, etc. Hope to, but I have used Winchester, RP, Federal, Nosler, and Hornady in short and long action cartridges. Bough a few boxes of NORMA 7-08 ammo to break in my daughters rifle and try that brass out. But if there had been Hornady Match for 7-08 available, I would have chosen that instead. I am looking forward to trying out NORMA brass. Load what you got, shoot and learn, have fun and PASS IT ON! [/QUOTE]
