- Cases undergo a pressure calibration test to confirm uniform case expansion during the firing cycle, promoting consistent pressure and velocity shot to shot

- Uniform case wall thickness is maintained to benchrest-level tolerances, a critical factor in long-range accuracy
- Every Hornady 26 Nosler case, regardless of production lot, is virtually identical to every other case in the same caliber, making load development consistent and repeatable over time
