Hornady VS Frontier 30-30 Brass?

razorback2003 · Jun 27, 2014

Is there any difference between Hornady and Frontier 30-30 brass?

I worked up a load of 34.5 grains of Leverevolution powder, a 160 grain FTX bullet, and Lee collet neck sized Hornady brass that seems to get me under an inch and a half 3 shot group at 100 yards with a Winchester 94 angle eject.

Do I need to go out and work up another load with the Frontier brass or will the accuracy basically be the same as the hornady brass and I can just keep loading up that Frontier the same as the Hornady.

I did get the Frontier brass from some Leverevolution rounds that I shot in the Winchester 94.

Hornady and Frontier brass are one and the same.

Although Hornady did originally load ammo with new cases bearing the Frontier headstamp, those cases were produced either by Winchester or Federal, and at the very end of Frontier production, by Starline. Nowadays, Hornady does produce some Hornady-headstamped brass like 308 WIN MATCH, 223 REM and 30-06 SPRG, but most Hornady brass is made by other companies. Big suppliers are Winchester (probably rifle calibers but definitely pistol calibers), Starline (pistol calibers) and S&B (pistol and rifle calibers), but there are at least four others I haven't equated yet. The Hornady 30-30's I've seen have a dot before and after HORNADY. Whatever the caliber, dots before and after HORNADY -- and WINCHESTER, too, for that matter -- equates to S&B-made.
