[QUOTE="Frenchie1, post: 2557687, member: 84014"] I had something similar but not as drastic, happen about 6 years back in my brand new custom 270. I was doing a barrel break-in on it and had a few boxes of Hornady Superformance SST 140gr left from before that gun became a custom. It had shot those factory rounds really good in it's past life so wanted to use them up before I started loading for it. None of the primers blew out but the deep rings and hard to open bolt were enough for me. I called my Gunsmith and before I could tell him which factory ammo I was using, he asked if It was Hornady Superformance SST's. He said he did not know what had been going on with those but he had had to pull 2 brand new barrels from recent builds that had the brass stuck. I sold the remaining ones to a friend who was already shooting them in his rifle and they worked just fine. I still use Hornady products but not there loaded ammo in Superformance. [/QUOTE]
