RE: Hornady Light Mags
Big
Didn't want to come across adversarial. But with ammo and guns and all else you mention its so subjective. For every good experience there is a bad one. I've seen a number of rifles(bolt guns only ) shoot the light mags really well. In fact a buddies Remmy 270 shoots it better than any other ammo.
One of the things about the powder they are supposedly(no I'm not totally sure but its well suspected its the same version) is that it likes really warm loads to perform the best. High energy powders seem weird from that aspect and it goes against the grain that heavy loads will shoot well. But it seems like a number of guns really like this ammo.
Your opinion is extremely valid. I suspect mine might be on the same lines. Its one of those things were you just can't answer the guy straight up. He'll have to find out on his own. And thats not either bad or good I suppose.
Again, not arguing with you, only giving some more feedback.
