[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1610553, member: 7539"] Update... A search did pull up one guy who had a similar issue and Hornady told him this: [INDENT][INDENT][I]A rep from Hornady called me earlier today and explained that they did actually find an issue. He had explained that the brass casings were to soft because they were " over cooked " when heat treated, and that they would over expand when fired and not shrink back down after cooling to be extracted. He explained the problem was with a machine in their production line called " the needler ", which is the heat treater , and has since been replaced. [/I][/INDENT][/INDENT] To me, that still doesn't explain the primer popping. [/QUOTE]
