I have fired thousands of HMR rounds in the last three years on pest control here in Central.
CCI has produced the highest numbers of mis - fires and for my rifle the least accurate plus split cases on occasions.
Hornady , Winchester and Federal have all performed very well with low mis - fire rates and very good accuracy and a rare split case.
That projectile in the barrel is a real concern but I've never struck it , thanks for the heads up.
