Hornady .44 Mag brass

This is one of a couple reasons I dont keep hornady 44 brass. The other is for some reason, no matter how much lube I use the brass always gets stuck in my sizing die, could very well be my die but...
As mentioned above, just trim mag brass to specual length uf the neck cracks, its to short etc. This makes it easy to know if you have mellow loads in hand.
 
Well, perhaps I'm different with my reloading methods, but, I use Hornady brass, along with other manufacturers' brass, in all my hand guns (380, 38 Spec., 357 Mag., 9mm, 45 /ACP, 44 Spec. and 44 Mag.) and my rifles (30-06, 308, and .223). I have never had a case stick in a die or chamber. I have never had a case split any earlier than other brass. I have never had any rims tear off, either reloading or extracting. The case capacities, where I have checked, are consistent. I don't shoot .25 MOA @ 300 yards so I can't compare the accuracy from Hornady brass vs. any other brass.

Hornady made a propriety cartridge that us usable in all firearms chambered for the "parent" round, and the case is a bit shorter to accommodate the FTX bullets profile. Big deal. If you don't inspect your brass prior to reloading/processing, expect trouble (steel cases, Berdan primed, and yes, even FTX brass)...
