Hornady 8693 Unprimed Cases 450Marlin Rifle Brass 50 Per Box/5 Case

Building loads for your .450 Marlin demands quality brass that can handle the demands of a powerful lever-action rifle cartridge. Hornady's 8693 unprimed .450 Marlin cases give you a reliable foundation for reloading—whether you're fine-tuning loads at the bench or preparing ammunition for hunting. Each box contains 50 unprimed cases, packaged as five bags of 10, so you can load in manageable batches or stock up for the season ahead.

Hornady brass is engineered with the precision that serious reloaders demand. The cases are manufactured to tight tolerances to deliver uniform case wall thickness—a critical factor for consistent velocity and accuracy across your batch. Tight concentricity ensures that your bullets seat properly and fire with uniform performance, shot after shot. Unlike commodity brass treated as a one-time-use component, Hornady cases are built to deliver multiple reloads, which means better value over time and the consistency you need when you're chasing tight groups or pursuing game.

These unprimed cases are the starting point for handloads tailored to your specific rifle and shooting goals. Because they arrive without primers, you have complete control over the assembly process and can pair them with the primers and powders that work best for your setup. For .450 Marlin shooters who demand accuracy and reliability, Hornady brass provides the quality foundation that turns careful reloading into superior ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reload Hornady brass multiple times?

Yes. Hornady brass is manufactured with quality and durability in mind, and with proper care—including correct sizing, annealing when needed, and inspection between reloads—you can reload these cases multiple times, giving you better value than single-use brass.

Do these cases come with primers?

No, these are unprimed cases. You'll need to source primers separately and add them as part of your reloading process, which gives you flexibility to choose the primers that work best for your specific load and rifle.

What's included in each box?

Each box contains 50 unprimed .450 Marlin cases, packaged as five smaller bags of 10 cases each.

Why does case wall thickness matter for reloading?

Uniform case wall thickness ensures consistent powder capacity and consistent pressure curves across your batch of ammunition. This consistency translates directly to uniform velocities and tighter accuracy—especially important if you're loading for hunting or competition shooting.
