Best Commercial Grendel Ammo

[CCinClovis]

I've had similar results to you guys.
Excellent reliability and accuracy with both AA and Precision Firearms ammunition. I've fired approximately 2000 between the two out of my
16" AA upper without a single malfunction of any kind. With the excellent brass life of the Lapua brass, it is the way to go.
Now, the Hornady is a different story. I hesitated to write this because of the positive reviews from you all, but my experience has definitely been different. About a year or so ago, I bought 2 cases of the Hornady 123 ammo. Headed to the range with it as well as a bunch of AA and Precision. Again, no malfunctions on any of the AA or Precision stuff (all different types from 100gr to 130 Scirocco).
With the Hornady, about every 4th or 5th round would jam into the breech severely damaging the case (3 deep gouges in each round) requiring a lot of effort to extract.
My son at Gonzaga University had a customer service type of a paper due in an English class, so he wrote to Hornady with high expectations of a positive result. Mr. Hornady's response was anything but comforting and certainly did nothing to keep me as a customer. He did not accept any responsibility and offered nothing for our problems. I will not support his company in any way again. I know that I'm in the minority here, but this has been my experience with Hornady.

I had the same thing happen with hornady rounds. It would feed the Lapua Scenars and it would have problems with the hornady rounds. As a knowledgable person on here who i consulted pointed it out it was a feed lip issue on my magazine. Cycles the hornady ammo great now and prints under 1/2 inch groups or better than that depending on how good i am that day. I can understand the frustration if you got a bad letter. But the 123 Amax is accurate as hell and the ballistics for it are pretty much spot on for my 24 inch barrel when i adjust for compensation out to greater distance.

Thanks for that info kamrr.
I use only AA 4 and 10 round mags. I too questioned their integrity, so I sent them back to Bill A. and he checked them all out. He gave them all a clean bill of health. They continue to perform flawlessly with good ammo.
I apologize for the brief hi-jack.
