So about a week ago I went out with my beloved to do a little target shooting and make sure my rifles are tuned up for the upcoming seasons. I will often shoot some cheap factory stuff just to make sure My scope isn't pointing into outer space, and once I am sure it is close to being on I will try out my handload of choice. I had a box of federal factory ammo left over from last year so I popped a round into my 270 and let her go. BLAM! It kicked like a mule, and when I ejected the case the primer fell out in my hand! . I have cranked of a few hot handloads before, but this has never happened to me from factory before. The ammo rode with me in the ac car so it wasn't hot, and I have shot this ammo in this gun before. Do they occasionally put out a hot batch? Thank God I didn't let my wife shoot it first, she would have never touched it again.
