Hornady- Buyer Beware!!!

Just a heads up: Hornady is having severe enough quality control issues that I ran into two separate serious incidents with two separate lot #'s and cartridges. The first picture is an ELDX 300 PRC case after firing that left a bullet in my chamber, the second is of a bullet improperly...

Just a heads up: Hornady is having severe enough quality control issues that I ran into two separate serious incidents with two separate lot #'s and cartridges. The first picture is an ELDX 300 PRC case after firing that left a bullet in my chamber, the second is of a bullet improperly (backwards) inserted into a case, and a loose bullet that came in a box of 6cm ELDM ammo. For years I've purchased Hornady ammo with little or no real

Super frustrated with Hornady at the moment.
The whole 7 PRC ammo being ungodly slow irritated me earlier this year.
Now, same happened to me with 6 Creedmoor ammo. I bought 6 boxes for factory 108 ELDM earlier this year. It shot great, I was happy with speed (2860 FPS in 20” barrel), SD wasn’t great, but it is what it is. I was down to one box, picked up 5 more from Midway for 20% off and free shipping. They all came same lot # so I was happy about that. I went shooting yesterday and the ammo is 70fps slower than the previous lot. WTF - that’s unacceptable. It shoots the same, even same POI at 100, but 70fps slower…come on man.

I’ve been wanting to go down the reloading rabbit hole and this might push me over the edge.
