Hornady 8790 Unprimed Brass Cases 500 S&W Magnum - 50 Count

The Hornady 8790 unprimed brass cases deliver consistent performance for 500 S&W Magnum handloaders seeking maximum accuracy and reliability. These precision-manufactured cases provide the foundation for developing custom loads that extract every bit of performance from this powerful cartridge. Hornady's advanced manufacturing process ensures uniform case dimensions and optimal brass hardness for extended case life.

What Makes This Different

Hornady brass cases undergo a multi-stage annealing process that creates uniform grain structure throughout the case wall. This controlled manufacturing approach produces cases with consistent neck tension and primer pocket dimensions that standard brass often lacks. The result is measurably improved shot-to-shot consistency, with many handloaders reporting velocity standard deviations under 15 fps when combined with quality components.

Key Features

• Precision-drawn from high-quality brass alloy for consistent wall thickness
• Multi-stage annealing process ensures optimal case hardness and longevity
• Uniform primer pockets sized to 0.210" for reliable ignition
• Flash holes deburred and sized to 0.080" for consistent powder ignition
• Case mouth chamfered and deburred for smooth bullet seating
• Headstamp clearly marked "500 S&W MAG" for easy identification
• Packaged in protective containers to prevent damage during shipping

These cases excel in both hunting and target shooting applications where the 500 S&W Magnum's substantial power demands reliable brass performance. The consistent case capacity supports accurate powder charges, while the uniform neck tension helps maintain bullet concentricity. Many competitive shooters report achieving sub-2 MOA groups at 100 yards when using these cases with match-grade bullets and careful load development.
