I know that they've had issues in the past. Have they fixed this blow up problem yet or are people still having issues?
Was wanting to load the 180s and 147s
 
I had an issue with them in 2020 with the 180s but I haven't shot any since then. For the 147s I have run 1000 through the tube this year and haven't had an issue yet so I would say those are fixed. When I talked with Hornady they were saying it was specific barrels that they were having issues with for the 180s. I still have 500 left from back then so we are going to try them in a Bartlein and see if that is any better.
 
I haven't heard of any lately , they did change their tips again... but who knows lots of marketing can overcome few reports ... but I'd be interested to see of its still an issue. I don't use that bullet much.
