Hornady creedmoor brass

[KT]

I have been reloading 6.5 creedmoor for a buddy. The first 100 piece he ordered looked like normal Hornady junk brass. I uniformed the primer pockets, uniformed primer hole, and so on.

The second bunch of 100 he ordered that came in this week are a bit different.
The primer pockets are so tight that I can't get the uniformer in the pocket. Also the brass is anealed! The first batch wasn't.

Did hornady change their brass or their process?

Maybe they changed the process and the brass will last a little longer.

I cannot comment on the older brass. I did just get some creedmoor brass for christmas, and I was shocked. It was annealed. I check the OAL of all 50pcs. it was within .002 to .003". I couldn't believe. the last batch of lapua .308 I went thru varied up to .013". I did go ahead a de-burr the primer holes, but I may have wasted my time. I didn't bother with much checking after that. just loading shooting. time will tell how many firings it will last. I am not running hot loads, so it may last a long time. I really look forward to wearing it out!!!
