About 5 years ago I bought a bunch of Hornady 5.56 73 grain ELD M ammo. It shot under an MOA in the Stag Varminter with the 5.56 chambered 24” 1:8 barrel.
I didn’t see any of the usual pressure signs so I bought a shitload more.
I took it out recently and tested it again with a different rifle with Krieger 1:7 24” barrel, 5.56 chamber.
It grouped about the same as before. No flattened or cratered primers.
Is this ammo too hot? Am I prematurely wearing out components?
