Hornady FMJ-BT Training Rounds

[Guest BillOfRightsFan]

Hey, long time since I've been here. Been a crazy year for me, leaving me little time or money to go shooting with. Finally things are looking up and I've got a case of Hornady 223 to go shooting with. I just noticed that they are lacquered steel rounds. So anything I should know before I go shooting with it?

...tendency to misfire, misfeed or go *piff* instead of *bang*?

FROM HORNADY????

...ummmm, NO, I doubt it very, very seriously.

Shoot it, be happy.

Don't doubt too seriously.

This ammo blew up several LE ARs across the country...a NCIC teletype was put out nationally concerning this and I believe Hornady ended up recalling a bunch of it.

This is not necessarily a slam on Hornady. Every ammo company has had bad lots escape.

Just sayin'...

hornady recalled lots of it for overpressure loads i think it was loaded by privi.

I'll be running 60 rounds through it soon. I inspected 100 rounds and they all look well made. It's been ages since I've gotten to shoot.
