Is anyone using this stuff in a high pressure cartridge? I am looking at swapping my WBY 30-378 cases to Hornady if they are uniform and tough like the Rem 300 RUM cases. Thanks
Hornady brass?

I have used them for my 257W/264win mag/338win mag.
They have shot well for me. They also have slightly less space than Nosler brass or win/rem brass. Thus I get slightly higher speeds over my chrono across the board. The order from most to least capacity is Nosler then Win/Rem then Hornady. I had no pressure signs with the hornady using the same max loads in all 3 brands of brass.
I did have to do case prep with the Hornady(also win/rem) brass that I did not have to do with the Nosler.
I have no problem with the Hornady brass.

Fotis I bought some for my 6mm Remington but I have not loaded it up yet. I hope it's good stuff. I've heard that it is at least.

Are they uniform? Weight, length etc?

I use Hornady in my .220 Swift and they have done pretty good. I've only loaded them three times but they are still good. They don't lengthen as much as my Norma brass when they are f.l. resized. I didn't weigh them for consistency.
