So..... this happened today with the new Proof barrel - TWICE .....
My rant...
This should not be happening with factory loads!
I’m sorry but Hornady screwed up big time with the 105 grain BTHP black ammo. They had time to R&D this and supposedly worked with companies to do trials for functionality and development.
It blows me away that Hornady’s invested so much into marketing of the caliber to then send out bad ammo.
I don’t believe 2.200” is the right answer , maybe 2.240” but whatever that really isn’t my concern.
Right now my LaRue trigger is bathing in the sonic cleaner getting all the powder out of the trigger cassette style mechanism.
I’m pissed - a great range day spoiled by bullets sticking into the lands and powder everywhere - had to stick a cleaning rod in the wrong hole twice on my proof barrel.
Now before folks read this and take away that I’m whining and moaning about small matters - let me put this into perspective....
If the DOD received my rifle and these loads and had bullets getting stuck and powder going all over the marksman’s arms and interior of the lower - do you think they’d be understanding about it - do you think they’d be thinking of a renegotiated figure for the contract.....
Anyways , full report later tonight - gotta go clean myself and the rifle ...
