The Hornady 86280 unprimed brass cases deliver consistent wall thickness and precise dimensions for 6mm Creedmoor handloading applications. Each case undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure uniform capacity and reliable chambering across bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.
What Makes This Different
Hornady brass cases feature drawn construction rather than formed manufacturing, creating more uniform wall thickness throughout the case body. The annealing process optimizes brass hardness for multiple reloading cycles while maintaining structural integrity. These cases consistently measure within 0.002" of specified dimensions, reducing the need for extensive case preparation compared to budget alternatives.
Key Features
- Drawn brass construction ensures consistent wall thickness and capacity
- Proper annealing extends case life through multiple reloading cycles
- Flash holes deburred and primer pockets uniformed from factory
- Compatible with all 6mm Creedmoor chamber specifications
- Headstamp clearly marked for easy identification and sorting
- Packaged in protective plastic containers to prevent damage
- Accepts standard large rifle primers for versatile load development
These cases perform reliably in precision rifle competitions where consistency matters most. The uniform capacity reduces velocity variations between rounds, contributing to tighter groups at extended ranges. Hunters appreciate the reliable ignition and extraction characteristics in field conditions, while target shooters benefit from the predictable performance across temperature ranges.
