    7mm PRC Factory Hornady ammo issue

    Just a bit of warning regarding Hornady factory 7mm PRC 180 eldm.

    I had 5 rounds among 60 loaded really hot. Bolt was super hard to lift, bolt face and ejector mark on the case. Primer felt of the case on one and I can push a new primer with my finger back in.

    The other 55 rounds were fine so it is clearly not the rifle.
    All ammo shot was from same batch.

    Running a quick search on google it seems it happened to others, bit dodgy
