Paul - You are starting to sound like Rudyard Kipling: "When 'arf of your bullets fly wide of the ditch,         Don't call your Martini (Krag-Jorgensen) a Cross-Eyed Old Bitch. She's as human as you are ... just treat her as such,          and she'll fight for the young British Soldier (Yankee Soldier)".

Ours is not to reason why... Ours is but to shoot and cry!  And into the Ranges of Camp Perry... rode the Krag Roosevelt shooters!

We get so close to it, we take the 'bevel' for granted. It never entered my mind that Hornady Brass might be different

When I see the Hornady reps at Perry this year, I may make mention of this (I've discussed a few things with them over the last few years, and they're always receptive to what I've had to say).  It might just be that they didn't know of the importance of the bevel.  As you said, it's something we've just taken for granted!
