How much setback? my opinion would be ditch um not risk the gun
I appreciate that Bud I will do just that. I will ditch them. I plan on switching to Gold Sabers or Speer.

better safe than sorry
Check OAL on all Blue but while discarding any with set back - rest should be good to go. Six months ain't old ammo
Better still - do you reload? I'd pull the short ones and use components - but then I am a conservationist (with ammo stuff!)![]()

any set back could cause a KB. not good. How did they get this way? ARe they factory loads? Inquiring minds want to know.
