Hornady Cartridge malfunction
Anyone ever have a cartridge fall apart on them while in the heat of the moment. This occurred to my friend while on a Once-in-a-lifetime mountain goat hunt in Utah. I am interested in others experiences. It was a Hornady ELDX 143gr 6.5creedmoor. To see the malfunction part skip ahead to 6:25. To see the explanation of what happened skip ahead to 8:45.

Likewise. They make a great cartridge. We were surprised this happened during our hunt. We checked the rest of the bullets in the box and found 4 others that were not seated well. Oh well.. First time for us with higher-end factory ammo.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, this I would definitely contact Hornady, I am sure they want to know that they may have a bad batch of ammo and post a recall. Might prevent another hunter from similiar circumstances.

He contacted Hornady and they were pretty responsive and willing to work with him. Fortunately, the hunt was still a success and the malfunction made the experience more memorable.
