Description
The .25-06 Remington has earned its reputation as a flat-shooting, high-velocity quarter-bore, and good handloads start with good brass. These Hornady unprimed cases give reloaders a clean, uniform starting point that holds up to repeated firing and resizing. Whether you're working up antelope loads or dialing in a varmint rig, this is the kind of foundation that makes load development a lot less frustrating.
What Sets Hornady .25-06 Remington Brass Apart
Hornady builds these cases to the same standards as the brass behind their loaded ammunition. Tight wall concentricity helps the bullet seat properly in both the case and the chamber, which translates to a more uniform release when the round goes off. Uniform case wall thickness is something benchrest crowds have chased for years, and it plays a real role in downrange accuracy. Consistent case weight and internal capacity round things out, so your pressures and velocities stay predictable from one piece to the next.
Reloading the .25-06 Remington
This cartridge runs on a standard large rifle primer and typically shoots bullets in the 85 to 120 grain range, making it a true double-duty round for everything from coyotes and prairie dogs to deer and antelope. Its roomy case and narrow bore favor slower-burning powders like H4831, IMR-4350, and Reloder 22, which is exactly why handloaders gravitate toward it. Because these cases arrive unprimed, you keep full control over primer selection and the rest of your load recipe, letting you tune a cartridge to your specific rifle rather than settling for factory fodder.
A Handloader's Workhorse
Starting with quality brass pays off over the long haul. You get more usable reloads per case and the peace of mind that comes from knowing each piece measures up to the one before it. For anyone serious about getting the most out of a .25-06, this Hornady brass is a straightforward, trustworthy choice to build your loads around.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Hornady .25-06 Remington cases primed?
No, these cases are unprimed and ready for you to add your own primers. The .25-06 Remington uses a standard large rifle primer. Starting with unprimed brass gives you full control over primer choice so you can match components to your specific load.
Is this new brass or once-fired?
This is brand new, factory-fresh Hornady brass, not once-fired or reconditioned. Hornady produces these cases to the same standards as the brass used in their loaded ammunition, with tight wall concentricity and uniform wall thickness. You will still want to inspect, size, and trim to your desired length as part of your normal prep.
What bullet weights and powders work well in the .25-06 Remington?
The .25-06 typically runs bullets from 85 to 120 grains, covering everything from varmints to deer and antelope. Thanks to its generous case capacity and narrow bore, slower-burning powders like H4831, IMR-4350, and Reloder 22 are popular choices among handloaders. Always start low and work up using a current reloading manual for your chosen components.
How many reloads can I expect from this Hornady brass?
Case life depends heavily on how hot you load, your sizing practices, and your particular chamber. Hornady brass is known for holding up well over repeated firings when loaded within sensible pressures and cared for properly. Keeping charges reasonable and inspecting your cases each cycle will stretch the useful life of this brass considerably.
