Any good?
A quick google found some negatives but everything has someone who doesn't like it.

I had no issues with it. Load yours and have fun.

Some of the Hornady brass has shorter casings. .44mag, 45-70 and 30-30 for example. They pose crimping problems.
IIRC, Normal length Hornady brass is OK but their Leverevolution uses shorter cases. I have Hornady brass in handgun calibers and rifle calibers and have no problems I can blame on the brass...

I've used a bunch of it for .308, .30-06, 7mm & .300WinMag.
Never had any problems.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

I get my most accurate loads in 223 and 308 using Hornady brass.
I have never had any Hornady brass in 30-06. For this caliber I use Remington brass for my most accurate loads.
It works fine for my .308. I used it cause the local law enforcement teams use it and I pick up their brass when I can
Never tried it in the Garand cause I have a stash of Lake City brass.
I use Lapua in the .223 cause the cases last 3 times longer than any of the other brands.
Thanks for the replies.
In a perfect world I would use only Lapua brass but this ain't a perfect world so I settle for what I can afford. While I have mostly used Remington or Winchester rifle brass. Nowadays the choice often comes down to what is available. Hornady brass seems to be easier to get so I'll give it a try.
my brother likes his 22-250 hornady brass, but i've never used hornady brass.
back when i was competing with myself, i was and am using a tc encore with a 23" mgm barrel in 20 vartarg. the only brass i found was remington 221 fireball(lapua was there later) so i used it. i trimmed to exact length, neck reaming, weighed the cases, weigh the bullets, weigh the powder charge.....ehh i'm glad that i gave up on that. this was all for "me" and the group size. 5 or 10 shots were .1 - .2" at 100 yards. this was with CAREFUL handloading. now its around 3/8 - 1/2" at 100 yards(5 shots) with my sloppy handloads. the only time i trim if its an oversized case length. theres no more neck reaming, weigh the cases and bullets and powder charge or no more point something off the lands. its just load and shoot.
btw, i do have hornady brass - 50 pcs of 444 marlin short brass. two or three years down the road, i'll use them for a 405 jes that i "haf ta build".
