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.
