I was prepping some brass and once cleaned and deprimed I started weigh them and the PPU had a difference of 2 grains variation while the Hornady had a 7 grain variation! I didn't expect that much difference in Hornady brass.
Hornady vs PPU brass!

They were once fired brass a friend had in original Hornady factory ammo boxes and I cleaned them in a tumbler with stainless steel media that I posted on here. They came out real nice and clean and since I had time on my hands I decided to weigh them for SG and was surprised at variation! Only thing i can think of is since it was factory ammo maybe it was lot to lot variation. My bud only wanted $20 bucks, couldn't pass up the deal.

Good follow-up.
I've never seen that kind of variation and I've weighed a lot of cases over the years.
Were any of these American Gunner by chance?NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO
