Did/does Hornady make steel cased ammo?

(1/3) > >>

OnTheFly:
I found what appears to be steel 9mm Luger cases mixed in with my brass.  I have never purchased Hornady ammo.  Anyone know if they did/do make steel cased ammo?

Thanks,
Fly

Yes, a couple years ago they started making a steel case product to keep costs down.

Doh!  I guess I could have easily researched that.

Of course my next question is, how badly will my dies be screwed up if I don't catch all these little devils?

Has anyone inadvertently attempted to run one of these through their press?

I bought a bunch a brass from another member here, and there were steel cases from Hornady in there.  I cleaned them and sized them with no issues, just haven't loaded them yet.  Probably have about 30 or 40 sitting in the bin.

Ghost:
Hornady's web page description of their steel cased ammo says: "Utilizing coated steel cartridge cases, and non-corrosive berdan primers..."

You won't be able to decap berdan primed cases with conventional dies intended for boxer primers.  :(
