Ok,...so...I just got a few boxes of Remmy 450b Hog Hammer 250gr TTSX rounds today. That's the good news. Any of you who have been around the forum here for a while will remember a troubling situation we discovered a few years ago with the first run of Remmy green tips...case mouth profiles varied randomly from crimped to straight mouth to ever-so-slightly flared, usually within the same box of rounds. Well...my 20/400+ nearsighted microscope eyeballs have found that this first run of Hog Hammers have reduced the questionable crimps down to only one of the three possibilities. In the boxes I just received, they are all uniformly showing the ever-so-slightly flared case mouth profile. None show any evidence of the case mouth being crimped into the boolit. They look great, until you check closely. After waiting for the better part of ...what?...almost a decade to see this loading actually produced by Big Green, I'm feeling a tad deflated here...they seem to have duplicated the original problem all over again...maybe.
A trip to the range will prove the pudding, I suppose...
