Hornady 86838 Unprimed Cases 8.5x55 Blaser Rifle Brass 50 Per Box/5 Case

If you're building loads for your 8.5x55 Blaser rifle, Hornady unprimed brass is where quality reloading starts. This 50-piece box of 8.5x55 Blaser cases gives you the foundation for consistent, accurate handloads. Hornady's reputation in the reloading world rests on meticulous brass production—each case is made to exacting standards so your loads perform the same way, shot after shot. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for precision rifle work or building ammunition for hunting, starting with uniformly manufactured brass means less variation in your final product.

Hornady cases are engineered for consistency. They measure tight concentricity in the case wall and are pressure-tested to ensure predictable case expansion during firing. That uniformity translates to more reliable bullet seating in both the case and chamber, which matters when you're chasing tight groups or relying on your rifle in the field. The careful wall thickness and internal capacity control means your powder charges and pressures stay consistent from round to round—a key factor in precision reloading.

This is unprimed brass, so you'll need to prime the cases yourself as part of your reloading process. For reloaders who take pride in the entire handload assembly, starting with quality, uniform Hornady brass in an appropriate quantity for your workflow makes sense.
