20 seconds spent on a Google search yeilded this NOTE: DO NOT USE ANY HORNADY LIGHT MAGNUM .30-06 Springfield ammunition in your semi-automatic rifle. The reason is that the pressure curve of the gases in the Hornady Light Magnum ammunition is wrong for the gas ports in semi-automatic firearms. The Hornady Light Magnum ammunition develops no more pressure than our Hornady Custom brand of ammunition it is where the pressures peaks so that it is not to be used in semi-automatic firearms. ---------------------------------------- If you waste your time a talkin' to the people who don't listen To the things that you are sayin' who do you thinks gonna hear And if you should die explainin' how the thing they complain about Or the things they could be changing who do you thinks gonna care Waylon Jennings | |||

Neither Browning or Hornady recommend this load in a semi automatic. You might get away with it a few times but then really expensive things may happen to your rifle. Browningguy Houston, TX We Band of 45-70ers | |||

Don't do it. They will most likely continue to jam until they break your gun.............DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | |||
