Thanks Rocky. I gave the bullets a try and the results were the worst I have ever experienced. Through my 14" Contender K-Hornet barrel, most of the shots didn't even hit the paper.
The bullets were set on top of 10.5 gr of IMR 4227 using new Hornet brass. With an OAL of 1.720 I ended-up with a compressed load due to the longer bullet length. The shots were so erratic that I finally took the target down and fired into the sand pile in an attempt to see were they were going. I don't know if the barrel couldn't stabilize the longer bullet, or if some of the bullets were coming apart on the way to the target, but the results were awful. The resulting fire-formed brass looked normal.
Any thoughts?
