Yeah I'd not fire that either lol.
Looks like there could be a hole in that. I have been checking over my AAC as I load a mag due to the dents (which I havnt had any bad ones), also checking primers as I have also had light primer strikes on the 75gr BTHP I got in March 2023. The LPS are specific to my bolt gun, but often primers are loose after firing so I check what they look like beforehand. I dunno, I havnt bought any recently since I ordered decent amount originally, but I have had different issues with the 3 loads I have bought... My bolt gun unfortunatly won't fire the 2015ish IMI MK262 I have a ton of (Light primer strikes) so I kinda need AAC loads to work out. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By metalsaber: yeah I think they got whatever issues corrected. I know a few of my early lots were a little concerning and I didn't shoot those rounds. However, I think my last 3 sets of 500rds were spot on. Same here, the last few orders had no visual issues. The months old 77gr OTM order shot to my expectations to say the least. IMHO, still a great bang for the buck ammo. I will be watching for fired case issues, though. Just in case. |

I tried out the new Garmin with this ammo out of my Andro Corp 16" mid-length gas rifle.

Now if you don't mention ammo is in the box I guess they won't know. You don’t have to go to a hub. Drivers take ammo and high valuable items as well. Both UPS hub customer centers near me have been closed for well over a year now. You can go to the hub but you’ll have to track down a driver. I’ve found it’s easier to schedule a pick up or text my driver to let him know I’ve got a pick up for him. |

Shot 77OTMs Monday afternoon. Not disappointed with the results. I’ll have to sit at a bench some day and hammer some groups out instead of shooting steel out to 600 yards. Primers were a starting to flatten but not bad. Bolt gun and AR did extremely well. Would buy again.

PSA recently added "Made by Hornady" to all the projectile descriptions except all the obvious Sierra/Barnes/Nosler loads.
Looks like Hornady is making all the projectiles and AAC isn't yet. The 75 Sabre Blade doesn't yet say it, but all the other Sabres, the 55 FMJ, 75/77 OTM do, Likely an oversight on the 75 SB. |

Then last week Jamin posted here (maybe GD) saying that most of their projectiles are made by Hornady. |

When we first got started Jason Hornady came out and looked at our operation. He wanted to supply us our rifle projectiles and partner with us in coming out with new projectiles to fill our needs for growing AAC. Keith Enlow from Sierra also came out and did the same. We had numerous presses we had purchased to be rifle projectile presses. We worked with our press consulting firm and figured out that we could use those same rifle projectile presses to make more brass cases. At that point we pivoted to work with Sierra to supply and Hornady to develop/supply all of our rifle bullets and use all of our presses to make more brass. This about doubled the size of our factory and helped us develop new projectiles with their guidance and expand our rifle catalog quickly. We only made a small amount of 55gr FMJ and 125gr FMJ for several months before we started working on retooling those presses to be case presses. If you look at the description of each rifle round it will say if it was made by Hornady or Sierra. The project has been a massive success. At this point we believe we are the largest maker of 5.56 in the US outside of the Lake City factory. Thanks everyone for your support, Jamin |

He wanted to supply us our rifle projectiles and partner with us in coming out with new projectiles to fill our needs for growing AAC. Keith Enlow from Sierra also came out and did the same. We had numerous presses we had purchased to be rifle projectile presses. We worked with our press consulting firm and figured out that we could use those same rifle projectile presses to make more brass cases. At that point we pivoted to work with Sierra to supply and Hornady to develop/supply all of our rifle bullets and use all of our presses to make more brass. This about doubled the size of our factory and helped us develop new projectiles with their guidance and expand our rifle catalog quickly. We only made a small amount of 55gr FMJ and 125gr FMJ for several months before we started working on retooling those presses to be case presses. If you look at the description of each rifle round it will say if it was made by Hornady or Sierra. The project has been a massive success. At this point we believe we are the largest maker of 5.56 in the US outside of the Lake City factory. Thanks everyone for your support, Jamin any consideration to adding sealed necks and primers, at least to some of the loads? We have quotes out for the sealed neck/primer equipment. We will do it in the future. It might be a year or so.  this is the best news I’ve heard in a while.  Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Saddlerocker: AACs might be the factory 2nds Lol. Sierra sells their SMK seconds via Midway. Ever seen Hornady 77OTM 2nds? Only way I can figure it's so cheap. Pure speculation I am aware. To be fair, I can’t even find 77gr .224 bullets (or loaded ammo) on Hornady’s site
