[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1354019, member: 68875"] I use to recommend HSM to everyone. No longer. I have seen their quality drop significantly, and some even almost dangerously. My last 2 issues with them were in a .300WM w. 185 HVLD which was WAY too hot, leaving heavy ejector marks, flattened/cratered primers and very stiff bolt lift in the 2 shots that I fired, so I quit. The same issue in a 7RM w. 168 HVLD that did the same thing. Groups were in the 4" range at 100 yards. Hornady and Nosler turned in 1.25" groups out of the same rifles, and handloadi brought both in to under .5MOA. [/QUOTE]
