3rd box, another dud. That makes 5. I’m up to 500-600 rounds through this rifle of everything from the cheapest of the cheap to Nosler match. No other duds even with bulk 5.56 stuff.
Also, shooting over a chrono the velocity was pretty consistent but every few rounds one would launch out like a rocket. I’m gonna finish the box and record all the FPS on camera to send to Hornady because after I sent photos of the duds they never responded again. Might just find a new manufacturer to use and try reloading some of my own. Black hills has been the best but I have to order online and I got some HSM now to try too which keeps stocked at sportsman’s warehouse.
Anyone else ever have this happen? All boxes are the same lot so I thought they’d wanna know that... more than a little upset
