Hornady Unprimed Brass Rifle Cartridge Cases .50 Bmg 20/Ct
Hornady unprimed brass rifle cartridge cases in .50 BMG are purpose-built for reloaders who demand precision and consistency in the world's most powerful rifle cartridges. Whether you're a long-range competitor, a serious experimenter, or someone who respects the engineering demands of .50 BMG ammunition, these rifle brass cases give you a controlled foundation for hand-loading. Each box contains 20 pieces of virgin, unprimed brass—ready for your sizing, priming, powder charging, and bullet seating steps.
Hornady manufactures these cases to exacting specifications that shooters have relied on for decades. The tight wall concentricity ensures that bullets seat uniformly in both the case and chamber, promoting consistent ignition and a clean, repeatable bullet release when the firing pin strikes. This uniformity directly translates to smaller shot groups and more predictable velocity from shot to shot—critical factors when you're working at extreme distance or in precision competition.
Uniform case wall thickness is the hallmark of quality rifle brass, and Hornady holds its .50 BMG cases to extremely tight tolerances across the manufacturing process. This consistency minimizes pressure variations during reloading and firing, helping you achieve the accuracy potential of your rifle and your handloads. Because Hornady approaches its brass as a precision component rather than a consumable commodity, you'll get more usable reloads from each case before it reaches retirement.
This is premium unprimed .50 BMG brass for the reloader who understands that accuracy begins with the case.

How many times can I reload these cases?
Hornady's manufacturing approach and quality standards support multiple reloads per case, though the exact lifespan depends on your specific loads, rifle, and inspection practices during reloading.
What's included in the box?
Each box contains 20 unprimed .50 BMG brass cases ready for your reloading operation. Primers, powder, and bullets are sold separately.
