Hornady 86255 Unprimed Cases Cartridge 25 Creedmoor Rifle Brass
If you're loading 25 Creedmoor, the brass you choose shapes every round that follows. Hornady 86255 unprimed cases give you the foundation for consistent, accurate rifle ammunition—the kind reloaders rely on when precision matters. Built to tight tolerances and quality-controlled throughout manufacturing, these rifle brass cases are designed to support the uniformity and reliability that separate good loads from great ones.
25 Creedmoor reloaders benefit from Hornady's attention to the details most shooters never see. Each case is manufactured to exacting standards for wall thickness consistency and internal capacity, which directly translates to uniform powder charges and pressures when you're at the bench. That uniformity is what benchrest and long-range shooters have always prioritized—and it's baked into every piece of Hornady brass you'll load.
These unprimed cases arrive ready for your reloading setup: no primers installed, so you control every step of the process. Because Hornady invests in quality over volume, their brass tolerances are tighter than commodity alternatives, which means you'll get more usable reloads per case and better velocity consistency shot to shot. For a cartridge like 25 Creedmoor—where small performance gains matter—starting with uniform, quality brass removes variables from your reloading equation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Hornady brass better for reloading than generic cases?
Hornady manufactures their brass to tighter tolerances for wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity. This uniformity means your powder charges and pressures stay consistent lot-to-lot, which improves velocity and accuracy. Additionally, Hornady invests in quality control, including pressure calibration testing, so you get more reloads per case compared to commodity brass.
Do these cases come with primers?
No—these are unprimed cases. You'll install primers yourself as part of your reloading process, giving you full control over every component in your finished ammunition.
How many times can I reload 25 Creedmoor brass?
Hornady brass is designed for multiple reloads. The exact number depends on your loads, firing pressures, and care during the reloading process. Because of their superior quality and tolerances, Hornady cases generally deliver more reloads than lower-cost alternatives.
Is this brass suitable for long-range or precision rifle loads?
Yes. The uniformity in wall thickness, weight, and capacity that Hornady builds into these cases directly supports the consistency that long-range and benchrest shooters depend on. Tight tolerances reduce variables in your reloads, which supports better accuracy.
