Re: Beware of Frontier (hornady) ammo

Did you contact Hornady? What did they say? When I opened the first box, they were like cool, its fine, go shoot it. I complained and said I wasn't concerned with the safety, but the fact that I got ripped off and paid for match ammo. They said well, that sucks, we dont stock that stuff and its bac...

While I dont have a scale, visually the 55 gr case appeared to have more powder. Tough to say if Hornady just stuck loaded 55 gr ammo in with the 75 gr stuff somehow, or something else occurred. I haven't shot any of the 55 grain stuff.

Re: Beware of Frontier (hornady) ammo

Just verified. Youre wrong... unless my eyes are deceiving me and these are actually two identical bullets I just pulled out. Maybe the defect was they forgot 30 grains of lead in each projectile.

Re: Beware of Frontier (hornady) ammo

It is a manufacturing defect,... that's all,... they shoot fine. You could pull a couple, just to make sure they are the same weight as the bullets with a clean hole, otherwise, not to worry. _________________________________________________________________________ Oscar Wilde,... “Imitation is the...

If you look closely, they are a completely different bullet. The Ogive is completely different on the hollow point.

Beware of Frontier (hornady) ammo

I will start by saying this... ive been a HUGE Hornady supporter since day 1. I use their duty ammo on duty, their bullets for reloading, and their factory ammo for most calibers I run. I had decent luck with the Frontier ammo in the past, so I ordered 500 rounds of the 75 Gr OTM Match 223 for my Kn...

Re: Fair price on scar17

If you follow the FN Production schedule, when they are in mil production, the public market dries up and prices skyrocket... once they stop and go to civilian production, the prices drop and stores have inventory. Check the bigger local spots like SGC, Tombstone Tactical, etc and see if they have s...

Re: Spotting scope recommendation

You can usually find the Vortex Viper HDs for around that. They aren't bad at all and obvious warranty through Vortex. Bushnell also has some good options, best thing to do is hit sportsmans and Cabelas to try all the big players out, then decide for yourself. I picked up my Viper HD for $475 new in...

Looking to re-home my dogs - relocating for work and cannot take them with me

Unfortunately, while it breaks my heart, I need to find a permanent home for my pups because ive exhausted all options on a temporary home while im gon...

Re: Guns and MJ cards

The government has a history of being in the "gray" area until case law or regulation states otherwise... much like the pistol braces, bump fire stocks and other things that no one really cared about, if they get enough letters asking questions, or issues occur from combining the two, you ...

Re: Who the hell s*** off arizonashootong.com

I stopped reading/posting because 99% of threads turned into anti cop/anti law enforcement, regardless of how they started. Gets old hearing the same old song and dance from the same people. Maybe this place will be better, we will see.
