Hornady responded to a msg I sent on their FB page and wanted lot numbers. Talked to him over the phone. Nice guy. He wanted to know the FPS and he realized it was high. Offered to take the ammo, but just told him I was going to pull them and develop a lower charge. Told him with just 28.9gr of LVR and a 105 Barnes Match Burner, I got 2815fps. He stated they were getting 2707 to 2750 in their test barrels. Just so they know they got another lot which may be over charged. Maybe it is good for a bolt gun, but gas, no way. Left it a that. Will fire one of the other lot number(I have 5 boxes of it) and see if it does the same. Probably end of pulling it just to standardize the loads. Asked about the primers severely flattening and they are just normal bench rest so do not go by this when looking for over charging signs. I figured this much. I use BR41s. Y'all have a good day. Oh, on the two worst cases, you can see the case head/webbing line. I won't be firing these again.
