Hornady 8745 Unprimed Cases 10mmAuto Handgun Brass 100 Per Box/5 Case
Hornady 10mm Auto unprimed handgun brass is engineered for reloaders who demand consistency shot after shot. This 100-piece box of unprimed cases gives you the foundation for building accurate, reliable 10mm ammunition—whether you're loading for competition, defensive practice, or recreational shooting. Hornady brass stands apart because the company invests in tighter quality control than most: each case is measured for concentricity, tested for uniform expansion under pressure, and sorted by weight and internal capacity so your loads behave predictably downrange.
When you're hand-loading, the case itself is half the equation. Sloppy brass means unpredictable pressures, velocity variation, and accuracy that drifts. Hornady's commitment to wall thickness uniformity and dimensional consistency means less sorting and tweaking on your end. You get more usable reloads from each case before it reaches end-of-life, which matters when you're cycling brass through your press hundreds of times. That translates to lower per-round costs over the long haul and the kind of load-to-load repeatability that serious shooters rely on.
The unprimed format lets you control your own priming process, which many reloaders prefer for consistency and workflow. Simply add your chosen primer, powder charge, and bullet to these meticulously prepared cases and you're ready to load. This box contains 100 cases; the "5 Case" designation in the SKU refers to the packaging structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Hornady brass better for reloading than generic brass?
Hornady applies tighter quality control throughout production. Cases are tested for uniform wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity, and they're pressure-calibrated to verify consistent expansion. This uniformity reduces the sorting and tweaking you'd normally do at the press, and it translates to more consistent pressures and velocities in your finished ammunition.
Do I need to do anything to these cases before loading?
These are unprimed cases, so you'll need to supply your own primers during the reloading process. Otherwise, the cases are ready to load—no additional prep is required if you're working with once-fired brass or new brass straight from the box.
How many times can I reload Hornady brass?
The number of reloads depends on your specific load, chamber, and handling, but Hornady brass is built to last longer than standard brass because of the care taken during manufacturing. The uniform wall thickness and quality construction mean you'll get more usable reloads before cases show signs of wear or fail.
Is this brass suitable for 10mm competition and defensive loads?
Yes. The consistency and uniformity of Hornady brass support accurate loads across the full spectrum of 10mm use cases, from recreational target shooting to competition to self-defense applications. The tight tolerances help ensure reliable performance whatever your intended use.
