Hornady FYI

[Slidellkid]

I have a good buddy that purchased two boxes of Hornady SST 139 grain ammunition for his 7mm-08. There appears to be a bad lot of bullets floating around out there. He had seven bullets fail to fire and none of the bullets would group at all - they were literally all over the paper.

To make sure it was not his rifle he purchased a box of Federal Fusions and his rifle printed a nice small group as it had been doing prior to picking up the SSTs. In fact, he had been using Hornady ammunition loaded with the GMX bullet and has taken four deer so far this year (in S.C.)

He called Hornady to let him know and they told him he must have oil on his firing pin. Then they told him he needs to clean his rifle. Pretty lame excuses if you ask me. Then they told him to gather up all the shells that have the indented primers and send them to them in the mail. Seems to me if one of those went off in the box it could easily start a fire or worse. I can't believe they told him to do that.

His duds came out of both boxes so it appears it was not an isolated incident.

Just thought I would let you guys know.
