The question is how do they shoot?

I've shot a lot of bullets in my time and I've never found Hornady top be second class in the 224 diameters.....darn good bullets.....shoot them and get on with life.

If they don't shoot good for you then buy Nosler or someone else next time.....be sure to measurew them before you shoot them as well.

I'd avoid mixing the two lots, but otherwise load and shoot them as if they are the same.

Sierra bullets have usually given me slightly better accuracy than Hornady ones, but not always. I've had excellent results with some Hornady bullets -- one example is the 100 grain flat-base spitzer in .25 caliber.

For target bullets, Sierra Matchkings are often the most accurate ones available.

SHOOT 'EM!
Once upon a time I had a batch of Amax bullets come apart in my 22-250, but in all fairness it was caused by the seater plug in an old set of RCBS dies.
Hornady makes Excellent Bullets!
