    I would measure the shoulder headspace on an unfired round. I’ve had hornady brass before that was way too short (like 0.7mm!) underspec when brand new. Would separate or go very close to it on second or third firing. Weights were all over the shop too.

    Horrible stuff, if I had to use hornady brass I’d probably quit reloading. With 7mm rem mag Norma is likely your only decent choice.
