Hornady Unprimed Rifle Brass in .22 ARC (brand part no. 86162) gives handloaders reload-ready cases for one of Hornady’s own purpose-built AR-platform cartridges. Each case is measured for consistently tight wall concentricity and run through a pressure calibration test to ensure uniform case expansion during firing, a level of quality control that matters when a cartridge is asked to run reliably in a semi-auto action. That uniformity in wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity also allows proper bullet seating in both the case neck and the chamber, which directly supports accuracy and consistent function. The brass ships unprimed, leaving primer choice entirely to the reloader.
