Phil, from what I gathered from her story, you loaded that ammunition that jammed up on her during the bear charge, correct?
I don't blame her for writing off the entirety of that sloppy jalopy.
Having owned one of the 375 rugers, hornady components would be my last choice.
With that 416 rem, she has unlimited choice in other brands of brass or loaded ammo. A serious gun, proof-checked by a serious man (Echols). That was an indepenedentaly smart choice on her behalf. A choice that will further her safety, and the safety of her clients.
No, those were factory loads she was carrying. I have enough sense lot to load wide, flat nosed bullets with steel jackets in any bolt action ! I had a heart to heart talk with Hornady at the next SCI show and I am sure so did many others. The new DGX have a much smaller meplat with a rounded nose and work superbly
I also read that first iteration of the DGX had a horrible track record of just coming apart. What i read on the world wide internet, the final straw Steve Hornady used them in Africa with dismal results. It was back to the drawing board..
