Call them up dude...they might send you some more out of good faith.
I am not too sure about this, as I have discovered to my amazement.
A few years back, I was trying to load some funny ammo for Walter. The idea was to load him ammo that would shoot groups measured in feet or yards, not inches.
He uses a 7x64 Brenneke.
I loaded him 277 caliber bullets, tried them, and was surprised that I was getting groups of about 1.5 inches!
I decide that more drastic measures are called for. So got my electric drill out, and drilled different size holes in the bases of these 277 caliber bullets - they were Nosler Partition, just like the ones I was going to load for him to hunt with.
This worked like a charm. He got so mad while trying to sight in his rifle, he almost just got up and left!
One shot hit the bottom of the target box, the next hit the top of it, and the third hit th ground half way to the target.
Saeed,
I do just enough shooting where I'll have reloads shot by another person, with one buddy in particular, that you have just unleashed a monster. This should be fun...

500grainsTwo weeks ago I threw away ALL of my A-Square brass (the old stuff, before Mr. Smith rejuvinated the company and got quality back on track). I got sick of very sticky extraction due to brass softness.
