"Ammunition matching that description was the subject of a warning years ago. The warning stated this ammo could spring the action of an SMLE and that it had shattered a No.4 bolt head."

Do you have a link or more information on on that?
Was it a bad batch, or what, from everything I discovered this isnt a "hot" load at all. Its actually got les propellant than the 174 Gr round & seems to be withing SAAMI specs for ammo from reloading tables I've checked with! (Its not posssible to really tell though as we dont know the exact powder used.)
