Hornady H8742 .40 S&W Unprimed Brass Cases, 200 Count Reloading

Description

Hornady's H8742 unprimed .40 S&W brass is the kind of case you want sitting in your reloading bench when you care about consistency. These are new, unprimed cases built to the same standards that made Hornady a household name among handloaders. Tight wall concentricity helps the bullet seat properly in both the case and the chamber, and uniform case weight and internal capacity keep your charges and pressures predictable from one load to the next. That translates into smoother cycling and tighter groups when you do your part behind the trigger.

What Sets Hornady .40 S&W Brass Apart

Hornady runs these cases through a pressure calibration test to confirm uniform expansion during firing, and each piece gets hand inspected before it ends up in the box. Reloaders who have run this brass tend to point out how consistent it is in size and finish, and how well it holds up through repeated loading cycles. For a high pressure cartridge like the .40 S&W, starting with quality brass makes a real difference in how your ammo performs and how many reloads you get out of each case.

Loading the Hornady H8742 Brass

This brass works with any standard .40 S&W die set and standard large or small pistol components, depending on your recipe. Since the .40 runs at higher pressures, a lot of folks like to roll size or carefully resize to knock out any bulge before loading, and this fresh unprimed brass gives you a clean starting point without the guesswork that comes with mixed range pickups. Whether you are loading target rounds for the range or working up something more precise, these cases give you a dependable base to build on.

Keep in mind this is a reloading component only. These are unprimed cases, not loaded ammunition, so you will need to supply your own primers, powder, and bullets.
