recently made aware of several reported (at least 1 on here) serious problems with frontier 5.56. mostly involving 55/62 gr. only used 75gr & i have used several C rounds with no issues and have about 400 left. so,am getting concerned about using it. i have a bunch of 5.56 TAP T2 and have found no problem reports about it. my simple comparisons show same weight,by look and web search same bullet,same POI in both my guns-16" not SBRs. rare blown primer reports in SBRs with 77gr IMI and anecdotal reports of it seeming "hotter" than some other 77s. anybody have anything on these issues?

Hornady Frontier 5.56 grenading guns is a real thing. Don't buy it for the same reason people shouldn't be buying bubba's pissin' hot reloads in the ziploc baggy at the pawn shop.

Iirc, they issued a recall on certain lots. I'm sure you can check their site and find the details.

I don't use that ammo due to past issues.
