I recently purchased a large quantity of 30 caliber Hornady IL SP and in comparing them to the older Hornadys that I developed my load with I find that jam length in my rifle is quite a bit shorter additionally the weights on a sample of the new bullets varies by more than a grain whereas the older lot varied by half that

This is frustrating for several reasons. The new bullets at my prior OAL are 30 thousands past "jam" necessitating redeveloping a load and as the previous load was lightly compressed, just seating them deeper is not optimal

Have others found the new Hornadys lacking in QC compared to those of several years ago? These were not bulk bullets or seconds but hundred count boxes, btw

Thanks


If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning
