Frontier Brass for 300 Win Mag

[gravelyctry]

A buddy of mine gave me about 70 rounds of once fired brass for a Rem 700 rifle in 300 Win Mag that I bought from him.

I had already loaded up about 100 pieces of new Winchester brass, and another 50 in Remington brass, after trimming each of them to the same length. I went to trim the brass he gave me, and it was short - almost .015 inches less than the Hornady reloading manual gives as a trim length.

Will the short length hurt anything? It's all Frontier brass, so I'd welcome any opinions on the quality of brass. Who actually makes it? I heard that Frontier brass was made by Hornady, but I'm not sure if that's true or not?

Thanks, Neil

You heard the same as me, I got some in 7mm-08 and was told it is older brass before they started using their Hornady headstamp..

You guys heard right, the frontier stuff is Hornady.

The brass being .015 shorter won't hurt anything. You'll be able to shoot it a few more times before it needs trimming.
