Did/does Hornady make steel cased ammo?

<< < (2/3) > >>

bullit:
"Team Hornady" had this ammunition about 4-5 years ago at the 5.11 Match in Columbus.  It had not been released yet.  They'd brought it to demo.   Nice clean shooting stuff.  What intrigues me is the price point is the same as brass, so I am not sure what the "advantage" of it is .....

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

Roger that, and that's what I gathered from your post.  Your info was news to me, obviously, since I didn't even know they made any steel cased ammo.  I wouldn't put it past myself to miss the two holes for the berdan, so your info made me go check to see if I missed that detail. 

It's all good info and very much appreciated.

Thanks Ghost,
Fly
