No I have not really heard much about them. Looks like it may be a good topic to research. When you get information let us know marc03033 |

SOME OF US DATE BACK TO THE LATE 40S. I suppose you could class us as "BORING OLD F*RTS!" But there is a wealth of knowledge on site if you ask and treat other members with the respect due to their age!

I've had no personal experience with the Hornady light magnums myself, in fact I've been avoiding them.
There were several who tried them out in .308 in semi-auto rifles a while back, all had issues with the gas system.
Obviously this will have no effect in a bolt gun, but it does indicate that in order to get the higher velocities advertised there has been some magic worked with the loads.
Hornady has access to powders that reloaders don't so there were warnings on the early boxes about attempting to duplicate the loads with commercial powders.
Based on this I don't think I'm going to risk these in my 50+year old actions designed for cordite, just to get another 100fps. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

Not that I've found.
There is the "For use in modern high-strength actiions in good condition" disclaimer though.
I'd guess they were within the maximum SAAMI range because of the possibilities of lawsuits though. ------------- Don't shoot till you see the whites of their thighs. (Unofficial motto of the Royal Air Force) |

Well that explains it then, Most of use shoot traditional Enfields with standard actions and would not have no use for a light Magnum

mark03033 I suggest you moderate your comments on here. From the start you have annoyed the members. Rhino ignore him he'll go away soon!

Marc03033. I do not know if you were joking or not? That does not matter we do not tolerate personal attacks toward ones family. We normally operate a smooth friendly forum with causal banter and good humor. I seldom get involved when other members clown around it normally works is self out most of the time. Unless its personal attacks or explicit language. You are welcome to stay here and participate in the forum joke around with the rest of us. But keep it clean and exercise common sense and respect. |
