HSM grendel ammo

[montana]

Okay, so they had issues a few years ago. The question now would be if things have improved or not. Doing a Google search, what I am finding for problems with HSM rifle ammo are more than a decade old, posts dating back to 2008, though there is the usual gritching about various aspects and proclamations of HSM being outstanding. Maybe somebody has some more recent information, but by and large, I don't see any complaints about the ammo in the last decade that I would consider to be out of the ordinary from any ammo manufacturer. Some of the monumental claims, such as this one from 2008 where it was reported that "a rash" of AR15s having kabooms with HSM .223 was something a poster had heard, but apparently those AR15 owners didn't post on the internet themselves. https://mp-pistol.com/mp-ammunition/1174...blems.html

I have been using Hunting Shack ammunition for most of my life since they were just down the road from me. They moved to a new facility near Stevensville after they had a fire in the late 80's. I have known the owner "Bill" longer than than I care to admit. I used their pistol and rifle reloads when I first started competing in practicle shooting, until I started reloading my own. Nothing too great, but it was inexpensive and it always met velocity and worked. They are a big supporter of the Big Sky Practical Shooting Club, Bitterroot blasters and give great discounts for loaded ammunition and un-loaded components to any member. They sell ammunition to foreign military's and police agencies all over the U.S.. I have never heard of any local complaints about their ammunition, whether reloaded or newly manufactured ammunition. I did hear of a lot of complaints about the now defunct Bitterroot Valley Ammunition Company (BVAC) ammunition, which was a totally different company.
