Hornady Unprimed Brass Rifle Cartridge Cases .223 Rem 3500/ct Box
$1,149.99
Hornady unprimed brass rifle cartridge cases for .223 Rem are the foundation of consistent, accurate reloading. Built for shooters who demand uniformity in their handloads—whether you're fine-tuning match ammo at the range, developing hunting loads, or building inventory for regular shooting—Hornady brass delivers the quality control that translates directly to tighter groups and reliable performance downrange. Each 3500-count box gives you a full supply for serious reloaders who shoot enough to make their own ammunition worthwhile.
Hornady's reputation in brass comes from attention to the details most shooters never see. The company measures concentricity to keep case walls consistently tight, controls internal capacity for uniformity, and subjects every batch to pressure calibration testing. That process ensures each case expands the same way when fired, which means your carefully weighed charges and seated bullets perform predictably shot after shot. Brass that's uniform in wall thickness and weight reduces variables in your reloading process—you're left chasing bullet placement, not case inconsistency.
Unprimed brass is the starting point; you'll prime, load powder, and seat bullets to your specifications. It's the choice for reloaders who want to control every step of the process or who already have the primers and dies ready to go. With 3500 cases in the box, you're stocked for sustained shooting without the time and cost of frequent reorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included—do these cases come primed?
No, these are unprimed cases. You'll need to prime them yourself using a reloading press and primers matched to your caliber. Unprimed brass lets you control the priming step as part of your handloading process.
Why does Hornady test cases for pressure calibration?
Pressure calibration testing ensures that all cases in the batch expand uniformly when fired. This consistency means your powder charges and bullet seating work the same way across every round, which directly improves accuracy and reliability of your handloads.
Is this brass suitable for match-grade or hunting loads?
Yes. The uniform wall thickness, internal capacity, and concentricity that Hornady controls make this brass a solid foundation for whatever you're building—whether it's precision match ammo or hunting loads. The quality control keeps variables out of the brass itself, so your load development focuses on what matters.
How many reloads can I expect from Hornady brass?
The product information provided doesn't specify reuse life. Brass longevity depends on your loads, pressure levels, and how you maintain cases between firings. Consult Hornady's reloading manual or contact their support for guidance on case life for your specific application.
