I bought a bunch of HXP from a dealer at a gun show, it was a better price than CMP was offering at the time. Five boxes of 30.06 in en bloc clips, 960 rounds total at less than $0.50 per round. CMP was offering a similar price, plus shipping at the time.

The following week in an IDPA three gun match, I found that at least two rounds out of each clip did not fire, and those that did gave me extraction problems, and some did not feed well either.

The next gun show I brought the ammo back to the dealer and showed him the rounds that failed to fire as well as the ones that did not feed and ejected rounds. He took the ammo back and gave me all my money back.

After that I ordered the same amount from CMP and have never had a function problem with it.

It wasn't until later that I discovered that what I bought at the gun show and what I got from CMP were both HXP.

I suspect that the ammo from the gun show actually had been stored improperly.

Rim rebate, shoulder length, and case length all look different to me.
