Anyone use Hornady light magnum ammo in their Handi?

[Jimbo47]

I don't reload, and I'm wondering if anyone here uses the Hornady light magnums in their Handi rifles and what kind of results do you get?

I know they shoot really well in other firearms, but I've not seen it mentioned much here!

Seems that the Handi rifles like the Core-lokts, and Fussion ammo, and some Winchester Supremes, but other than reloads that seems to be the standard diet of the Handi.

This load has caused problems for many handi owners, including myself.  Problems like, sticking cases to opening actions on firing.

 Stick with the standard loadings, weather Win/Rem/Fed stds or premium stuff.

I remember reading something to that effect, but couldn't remember if I read it here, or else where, but I have a friend that shoots hand loads, and has a couple boxes that he wanted to give to me.

He says they shoot good but off a little from his favorite loads and doesn't want to have to re-sight his rifle to use them.

But, I wasn't sure if I could use them in my rifle, so I decided to check here to see if anyone has had luck with them before I take them off his hands.

Just my luck!

I shot them in my 7mm08 they did ok if i remember right it was about 2" or so no problems with stuck cases.

They do ok sometimes, but for the most part, people have had problems with them sticking in ejector barrels, but extractors may not have that issue, but they're defiinitely pushing Handi limits in most H&R chamberings.

Thanks Tim!

That pretty much answers my concerns!
