I've found it to be pretty good. Your powder capacity is going to be a lot more with the Hornady brass. Hence different pressure levels and different velocity. I've got a few pieces of rws and the stuff is so thick that I'd rather shoot win brass because I'm loading a full 3 grains under max load and still getting a sticky bolt. As far as $ goes I don't think it's what people are asking but it's overall good brass. Got a few hundred pieces my self. Like the above post stated , keep them annealed. I just take a butane torch after I get em real shiny in my tumbler and use a drill socket and when they start turning color I immediately drop it. Be sure not to over do it because they will be dangerous. Copper Creek will do it and have them back real quick. Also there's a thread on here somewhere where a hide member is doing it very quickly and cheap from what I understand.
