I don't see why not. I converted 400 pieces of Norma .223 brass* to 6x45 a few years ago and half are up to 4x (the rest 3x). It's performance is the stuff of legends in a few prairie dog towns in SE Colorado. Haven't had a single issue with the necks. Neck thickness went from 0.0145" to 0.0140" on average. Chances are you'll end up with better brass than anything you'll ever find with a Hornady headstamp.
* Brass was from the old Norma TAC .223 - before they had Lake City start making their volume .223 with LC brass with a Norma headstamp.
** I never find fireforming wasteful since virgin brass should always be fireformed anyways. I use it to practice things I might not otherwise, such as offhand, compromised positions and weak side (my local PRS match director seems to have a fetish for weak side stages). Even if I miss, I know if I had a good break and follow through.
