I know you are excited to have your own brass in house. So if we get into another ammo crunch/shortage, will you be impacted as badly as the last go around? The market is just now recovering from it and still hasn't stabilized IMO. Also, what, if any, will be the impacts to your ammunition pricing?

Re: Hornady 45gr HP/BEE

I went with trim @1.35", COAL of 1.415", 5.9grn of Accurate #5, Win SRP. Shot a few and was happy with it, accuracy wise. Need to get a chronograph to get my FPS.

Thank you very much for sharing your load data & results!

Awesome Rapier1772! Thanks for posting your results. :thumb:

After I got done loading for the evening, I test fit a 45grn HP/BEE using the Hornady die and there is no issue seating the BEE to the needed depth. So looks like I will be playing with these some pretty soon.
