The Hornady 86935 unprimed cases in 450 Bushmaster give reloaders a reliable, consistent foundation for building accurate, hard-hitting rounds. Whether you're assembling ammunition for a lever-action powerhouse or a modern bolt gun, starting with quality brass matters—and Hornady's manufacturing discipline shows in every case. This 50-count box of lightweight brass is engineered to the tolerances that serious handloaders depend on, from wall concentricity to internal capacity, so your loads shoot where you aim.
450 Bushmaster is a short, fat cartridge designed for hunting and sport shooting, and it demands brass that won't let you down. Hornady cases are measured for consistent wall thickness and concentricity, which directly translates to uniform bullet seating in both the case and chamber. That uniformity reduces variables in your reloading process and contributes to tighter shot groups and more predictable velocities—exactly what you need when you're dialing in a new load or hunting at distance.
These unprimed cases are ready for you to size, charge, and seat bullets according to your preferred load data. Because Hornady holds case wall thickness to exacting standards, you'll get more consistent pressures from round to round, and more reloads per piece of brass before it's time to retire it. The cases are designed to work with large rifle primers (which you'll source separately), so verify your primer selection against your reloading manual before you start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What primer size do I use with Hornady 450 Bushmaster cases?
These cases are designed for large rifle primers, which you'll need to purchase separately. Always verify primer type and size against your reloading manual before assembly.
Can I reload Hornady unprimed cases multiple times?
Yes. Hornady's emphasis on uniform wall thickness and material quality means these cases support multiple reloads before retirement. Lifespan depends on your loads, inspection practices, and use; follow your reloading manual for safe practices.
Why does wall concentricity matter for reloading?
Tight wall concentricity ensures the bullet sits straight in both the case and your rifle's chamber, which promotes uniform firing and more consistent velocity and accuracy. Hornady cases are manufactured and measured to tight concentricity standards for this reason.
Is this 450 Bushmaster brass suitable for hunting?
Yes. 450 Bushmaster is a popular hunting cartridge, and Hornady's quality brass supports the consistent, accurate loads needed for ethical hunting. Load data for your intended hunting application should guide your powder and bullet selection.
