Hornady Unprimed Handgun Cartridge Cases .38 Spl 200/ct

Hornady unprimed .38 Special handgun cartridge cases are the foundation for consistent, accurate handloads. This 200-count box of .38 Spl brass gives reloaders the precision components they need to develop reliable ammunition for practice, competition, or defensive loads. Hornady's quality-control process—including pressure calibration testing and concentricity measurement—ensures that each case will perform uniformly across your entire lot, eliminating variables that can throw off chronograph numbers or group size.

Whether you're a benchrest shooter chasing tight groups or a practical pistol competitor loading for velocity consistency, case uniformity matters. Hornady manufactures to tight tolerances in wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity so that every cartridge you assemble behaves like the last one. That consistency translates directly to predictable pressures and velocities, which means you spend less time tweaking loads and more time at the range or match.

Built to last, Hornady .38 Special brass is designed for multiple reloads. The company treats its cases as precision components, not commodity products, so you'll get more life out of each piece of brass than you might expect. For reloaders who demand uniformity and reliability from their components, this is a smart choice.

These are manufactured for .38 Special. Always consult published load data and your firearm's manual to confirm safe pressure limits for your specific gun.

How many times can I reload Hornady .38 Special brass?

Hornady cases are designed for multiple reloads. The exact number depends on your reload pressures, inspection practices, and how you maintain the cases, but Hornady's quality construction supports extended case life.

Can I use this brass in any .38 Special revolver or pistol?
