6.8 Hornady

Is the 6.8 Hornady loaded with the 110 Boat Tail Hollow Point part # the 8146 the same one that DocG wrote about as the 110 OTM?

[DocGKR]

Yes it is.

[mattexass]

Thanks Doc.

I read on another forum where Hornady has done away with the crimped primers on the 8146 and is now calling it "match" ammo. Does this change its preferred status as a suitable LE or Military ammo?

[mattexass]

Hmmmm

[DocGKR]

Yes--that would be problematic...

I spoke with Hornady on the phone and they claimed that these primers are crimped. I got a hold of some this ammo how do I know if it is crimped (what do I need to look for)?

Look for a small indented ring around the primer.

The "match" 8146 I bought is not crimped. I am pretty ticked off because I bought 1000 rounds.

I also sent them an email inquiry before I called and received a reply today that they are "currently" crimped. Do you have any pictures? When I was on the phone with Hornady I was told that older batches were not crimped. Could it be an old batch?
