I'm cycling Hornady Black 123g ELD & Hornady 123g SST with no issues .
      When I was young, many decades ago, the guy who taught me to reload warned me to never, under any circumstances, shoot someone else's handloads. Any idea what happens when the too long neck becomes impinged by the rifling? Catastrophic failure.
      Reload or don't, but don't shoot someone else's handloads. JMHO~ Riuma

        guy has a home gun shop . I had many people tell me what a great gun smith and custom reloader he was.
        yep, lesson learned on my part.
