Shot some 500gn Hornady SP bullets yesterday and while packing up to leave the range noticed many copper jacket fragments withing about 2-5 feet of the firing line and one on the bench. I am sure these were not here when I started shooting because I scrounged the range for brass and saw nothing of the sort.
I am seating to the cannelure and charging with 32gn of H110 with a heavy crimp.
I was unable to attempt to dig any spent rounds from the burn due to others shooting when I left.
What could be causing this? Could it be that I am over crimping? I slowly adjusted my crimp until I got no bullet pull after 4 shots. Or do these projectiles have a tendency to do this?
