I am aware of the different materials, but I don't think I agree with you. If aluminum alloys couldn't be made to be as strong as steel, they wouldn't make engine blocks or aircraft frames out of them. I don't think anyone is going to warp their Hornady frame by doing a lot of case forming. Of course, the Hornady hasn't been around as long, so only time will tell.
