[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 542095, member: 26077"] I have never used Hornady brass in 22-250, but I have in 204 and 375 Ruger. The 204 showed over 13 grains weight difference in 100 cases. The 375 is even worse. I am a BIG fan of Hornady bullets and shoot a lot of them but their brass sucks IMHO. That is far and away the worst quality control I have ever seen on brass. I weight sorted the 204 and tried a couple of loads but tossed the brass and went to Winchester. The 375 I have no choice, no one else makes the brass but in this big a cartridge the volume difference isn't as critical. For inexpensive brass I would go Winchester, if you can afford top of the line then Lapua is it. As to reloading gear, for single stage or turret non-progressives, scales, trimmers etc Lyman makes top notch stuff and it is quite a lot better priced than RCBS or Redding. For dies, I would stick to Redding, they are worth their extra cost. For Progressive loaders, Hornady LNPL or Dixon would be my choice. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
