Hornady 8602 Unprimed Brass Cases 22 Hornet - 50 Count

The Hornady 8602 unprimed brass cases deliver consistent case capacity and uniform wall thickness for precision 22 Hornet reloading. These cases provide the foundation for accurate handloads that exceed factory ammunition performance in varmint hunting and target shooting applications.

What Makes This Different

Hornady brass cases undergo rigorous quality control with weight sorting and flash hole deburring from the factory. The brass alloy composition maintains optimal hardness for multiple reloading cycles while preventing case head separation. Each case features consistent primer pocket depth and neck tension compared to mixed headstamp brass that varies in dimensions and performance.

Key Features

• Uniform case capacity within ±0.5 grains for consistent velocities
• Flash holes deburred and primer pockets uniformed at the factory
• 70/30 brass alloy composition for optimal strength and longevity
• Consistent neck wall thickness prevents bullet runout
• Weight-sorted cases eliminate velocity variations
• Headstamp clearly marked for easy identification
• Compatible with standard 22 Hornet dies and shell holders

These cases perform reliably across temperature extremes from prairie dog hunting in summer heat to winter coyote calling. The uniform case preparation reduces load development time by eliminating variables that affect accuracy. Competitive shooters report improved group consistency when switching from mixed brass to Hornady cases. The standardized dimensions ensure proper chambering in bolt-action and single-shot rifles.
