I've got a box of Hornady hollow points for my 44 mag. I loaded them and looking at the cylinder I can see something is wrong. Two of the six I put into the cylinder are not properly seated. One is sticking so far out of the case I can't even spin the cylinder. Here is a pic. Has anyone run into this before?

Never been a fan of hornady but I guess it's bound to happen maybe
Don't try to seat and shoot them as they may have a double charge of powder. Make sure to notify Hornady as they may be part of a bad batch.
I'm not sure about the .44 mag, but other Hornady LE bullets have to be seated lower. And maybe the case has to be trimmed shorter. This is the case with the LE in 45/70. Again, I'm not certain about the .44 mag. Do you have a Hornady reloading manual?
Factory ammo? LOL. I'd take that back.
Never mind my comments! I put in my contacts! That ain't right, may be a double charge!
Double the charge = double the fun.
But fewer fingers!
I am sure they would like to know if they don't already.
You got a bad box.
You got a bad box.
Guy, I didn't completely lose my mind. I had been reading about reloading the 44 mag just before I read this post. I had reloading on my mind!
