If you run a .40 S&W and reload your own, starting with quality brass makes all the difference, and Hornady has built its reputation on exactly that. This is new, unprimed brass that gives you a clean slate to work from, with no prior firings to worry about and no worn-out primer pockets to deal with. It is the same brass Hornady uses as the foundation for its own loaded ammunition, which tells you where their priorities are.
Hornady treats brass as the base of an accurate cartridge rather than a throwaway commodity. The cases are produced in smaller lots held to tight quality standards, and they are measured for consistently tight wall concentricity. That concentricity matters because it helps the bullet seat straight in both the case and the chamber, which translates to more uniform bullet release and better accuracy on target.
What reloaders really care about is uniformity in wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity, and that is where this brass earns its keep. Hornady runs the cases through a pressure calibration test to confirm uniform case expansion during firing. When your case capacity stays consistent from piece to piece, your powder charges and pressures stay consistent too, and that is the kind of repeatability that tightens up groups and makes load development predictable.
This is a reloading component, so it ships ready to prep, prime, charge, and seat however your recipe calls for. The .40 S&W is a workhorse round for practice, competition, and defensive training, and feeding it with fresh brass means you get the most reloads out of each case before it needs retiring. Whether you are loading up range fodder or working on a precise target load, starting with good brass sets you up for success right out of the gate.
This is brand new, unprimed brass straight from Hornady, not range pickup or once-fired cases. That means you are starting with virgin brass that has never been fired, so there is no cleaning, deprimed residue, or worn primer pockets to deal with. It gives you a consistent baseline for load development and typically delivers more reloads over its life.
No, these cases are unprimed. You will need to add your own primers, powder, and bullets to build a finished cartridge. Many reloaders also like to inspect, size, and check case length before priming, though new Hornady brass tends to arrive ready to prep with minimal fuss.
Hornady produces its cases in smaller lots and measures them for tight wall concentricity, which helps the bullet seat straight in both the case and chamber. They also run the brass through a pressure calibration test to confirm uniform case expansion. The payoff is consistent charges, consistent pressures, and more repeatable accuracy from your handloads.
A 5000 count box is aimed squarely at folks who shoot and reload .40 S&W regularly, whether for practice, competition, or training. Buying in bulk keeps you stocked for a long stretch and often works out better per case than smaller packs. If you only load occasionally, Hornady also offers this same brass in smaller 200 and 100 count options.
