bow shot I've reloaded boxed hornady brass and hornady's factory ammo. It's all bad stuff. I'll never ever try it again. I've used hornady brass for 7MM, 204, and 243 and they all had unacceptable issues. Unfortunately I wasted a lot of components, time and money trying to figure out why I couldn't get better accuracy. (That was when I was new to reloading and didn't realize it was the brass until later) I still have some loaded ammo in Hornady brass that I burn up for hunting purposes until they are gone. Then they are GONE!
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

Rats... that's too bad...

Well, the Noser stuff is fantastic, truely no-prep. If I didn't have my majic loads already nailed down, I'd consider WW or Rem, assuing I'd have to sort and prep it.
