Hornady Light Magnum rounds
Howdy guy's,Had a member here P.M. me.He was asking if it was alright to shoot Hornady Light Magnums in a Reminton 7600.I think 100 grainers.Said they were recomended for "Fixed Breach firearms Only".I did not want to give him bad info or cause a problem with the rifle not knowing howhot they load the light mags.I would think they would still keep the cup down enough for just about anything 'cept maybe an old custom rig made out of a not so strong military action.Thanks for the help and let's get this guy on the right track.........................Alton

Yes...bolt action or hinge action guns only. Semi-auto might have problems....that statement on the box is a disclaimer in case something were to happen with a semi...then they won't be liable for damages.
They are some hot rounds...more recoil for sure. My gun didn't like them.

I know this doesn't help YOUR situation much, but I've tried them in several different cartridge sizes in some of my rifles, and like the other poster said, they didn't group up to my satsfaction. These were all bolt action guns..........

Personally I see little reason to shoot these light mags, unless they shoot more accurately. Perhaps in some instances, but for the most part I find loads that work in remington or federal that do just fine.
With bullets from other manufacturers with higher BC, often they'll overtake the energy of these light mags down range...
