| I got a box of 500 HSM rounds fom the local gunshow a couple weeks ago and just got my AK today. I went to load the rounds, and was met with an unpleasant surprise. The bullet's nose is too long for the magazine. Most of the people I talked to at the range said it was probably the ammo, and I am going to pick up another box tomorrow to make sure it is the ammo. Anyone have this happen before? Will I be tempting fate if I shave off a little of the nose? What should I do? |

Are they the heavy OTM rounds, like the 77 grainers? They gotta be because they have a longer OAL. If so I guess you will have to dremel some M4 feed ramps into your AK.  For real though if they won't fit into the mags I sure wouldn't be shaving them. Either shoot them in an AR (if you have one) or sell or trade them. That is a real bummer. |

Any warranty may be with the mfg ultimately instead of the dealer, but invite them to take it back or you wont be back to them. Too long for the mag is just Fn wrong. or find a reloader with a bullet puller and scale to see if they at least got the right round in the case |
