Hornaday Ammo Recall: 500 S&W 300 grain FTX Custom Ammo Loaded Too Hot
to Handle
Apparently the fine folks at Hornaday have made a slight calculation
error during the loading of some of their 500 S&W handgun ammunition,
called by some the most powerful handgun ammunition on the market
today. The effect of that slight miscalculation is that you can now
blow up your handgun (“excessive chamber pressures” in damage reducing
spin-speak).
