-Is it only the 139 6.5s or all (probably all)?
-Have they since recognized & fixed the problem?
This was with a 7X57 with 139 gr flat-base spire point (not a 6.5mm). I have no idea about other bullet weights because I switched to Nosler Solid Base bullets as my hunting bullets after that and never had a similar problem. I know other folks who use Hornady Interlock bullets with no problem, but in heavier bullet weights. It could have been that lot of bullets, it could have been all Interlock bullets, but I was not about to shoot another animal with them. I still use Hornady bullets for target work, but not on game animals, although I have been tempted to try the new Interbond bonded-core bullets.

I am not sure if Hornady ever thought of it as a problem, but now that the Interbond bullets are available in the same bullet weight, I would say they have solved the problem.
