well,i`ve the need to contact hornady AGAIN this morning which is the second time in 13 months regarding an episode with one of their v-max rounds yesterday afternoon.
I was out rabbiting and had shot about 10 rounds with no problem when I chambered the next round and pulled the trigger all I got was a "click" with no "bang" to follow it.
so I pointed gun into ground in front of me and waited.
nothing!!!!
so,i ejected the round and noticed straight away the bullet head was missing
on further inspection,there was a pronounced indentation in the case where the firing pin had impacted and upon looking into the case it was still full of propellant and there was a stress fracture in the case neck .
so as of now,i have a 17 grn v-max stuck in the barrel awaiting a reply from hornady sometime tomorrow hopefully.
I haven`t attempted to remove it yet as I want to see what their reply is first plus I don`t have a dowel of the correct diameter or length.
I can`t believe the amount of posts on shooting forums regarding this round in the last few weeks
and it all seems to be hornady ammo
