Hsm problems?

[randal]

I shot my sendero sf2 with hsm 168 bergers today and could not get a decent group.. One of the rounds I shot blew a bunch of smoke out of the action and when I looked at the casing there was a hole between the brass and primer.. Anyone ever have trouble with it??

Doesn't look good at all. Have no idea on what causes that.

Usually a sign of excessive pressure. Either to hot a load or bullet seating depth is to long. I wouldn't shoot anymore of those rounds. The gas leaking past the primer will eat up your bolt face.

yep .... pressure signs

measure cartridge OAL and seat deeper into neck , and reduce powder charge

are you shooting over a chrono ?

I think those are "factory" rounds. Hunting Shack Munitions aka HSM.

I'd take them back to Cabela's. I know you can't return ammo but in this case they should be glad to return your money. Take the case with the pierced primer with you.

Bought them about 4-5 months ago and don't have receipt.. I'll prob just have to gut my losses..

Contact HSM and send them a picture. I'd bet they replace your ammo.

I shot the same rounds out of my 308 probably 3 years ago or so. I had trouble extracting the rounds after firing, not sure why this would occur, but I haven't shot them since. Were these 308 or labeled 7.62?

Thanks, I may contact them to inquire about the problem, hopefully it didn't do anything to my gun..

I bet they replace the ammo if you contact them.

That would be great CS, however I don't need it replaced because I don't want to use it anymore and not looking for a "freebie".. I was really just wondering if anyone had this same or similar issue..
