Just Received my first 100 rounds of Nosler 22 Hornet Brass. To say that it is excellent would be a gross understatement. Each round is Chamfered on both OD & ID and  the flash hole is deburred. Hats off to an American company for providing a quality product for a reasonable price!

None of the 100 rounds had any neck dents that would require resizing prior to loading. The flash hole diameter measured .070” ( #50 drill). My newest hornet die is a redding neck sizer that has a decapping pin that measures .062” in diameter. So that leaves a comfortable .008” clearance.

Purchased these from Graf.com for $39.99 per hundred, Graff & Sons has a $40 minimum order now so you can either order multiple quantities or do like I did and add a small item to the order. If you want a larger quantity go to Midway USA.com that sells them in 250 packs for some additional bucks.

I plan to load and shoot this brass right out of their package.

Did you weigh them?  It would be illuminating to know.

The Hornady brass I got a few years ago was made in the Czech Republic!

I too am curious about the weight consistency on these cases.

Because I will be starting up on my Hornet rifle project again I have been thinking about some new brass. I want to add to my supply of 20+year old brass.

It is good to know that someone is even making it and it is available!

Besides Nosler, could anyone tell me who is making it still.

 

Sounds like if only the Nosler is made at least it will be of very good quality. However, knowing about choices would be good. So can anyone answer who else might be making Hornet brass?

I bought some Hornady brass about a year ago, and they still have it on their website.

 Okay, I answered my own question.

Looks like Winchester is listed but out of stock everywhere. Are they done?

Hornady and Nosler are available.

The odd sounding Italian brand whose name I did not take note of is also available.
