Most of those spent cases show pressure signs, especially extractor marks on the heads of the cases.
Take the remaining back to the supplier and ask Hornady for a please explain.
I'd also get your rifle checked by a gunsmith to ensure there is no issue with headspace etc, especially if it's a new rifle.
Cheers

Can you post some close up photos of the empty 150gr loads just to be sure there are no early signs of excess pressure with this ammo too.

Hornady putting some extra super into supper performance - I guess!
Faulty load - I'd say they hadn't changed the fill from the previous on the line. A bit of a worry and explains a recent SP 308 box I bought can you show the lot number sticker in a photo and I'll grab mine too to compare ( if I can find it)

This may help explain head space.

Mate there's excess pressure signs in this brass too.
Especially the bottom right hand case and 2nd down on the right have leaking primers and extractor marks in the head stamp.
Others have extractor marks in the head stamp.
I'd take all your ammo back to the supplier along with your rifle and ask for an explanation.
Can you post a photo of your bolt face.
Cheers

Over max pressure signs, stop firing that ammo.
I use superformance powder in hand-loads and while it it can be great for velocity there is some extreme batch variation and I have ruined a bit of brass as a result.![]()
