Well, I've tried reloading the 123 SST with little success. I saw a good price on a box of Hornady 123 SST ammo so I decided to give some factory a try. A single ten shot string fired 5 shots to a target at 100 yards. Each target produced two distinct groups. The pic below is representative.

Each of the 5 shots groups produced three pierced primers and two cratered primers.

The chrono results were:
High: 2556
Low: 1491
Aver 2527
Spread 64.73
SD 19.07
This was out of an 18" Hardened arms barrel.
This is really troubling, has anyone else had problems with Hornady ammo?
