I recently ordered 3k 125gr HAP bullets for my 9mms. Guess I wasn't paying attention because I realized they were .356 when browsing Hornady's site earlier today. Not sure how well my PPS will like them.
Regardless I was in the garage to confirm the diameter w/ a micrometer. And apparently I bought 1k of the 115gr HAP at some point in the past. So I opened the box to check their diameter since I had the mic out. They are indeed .355 like the box says. But I found over 50% of them to look like this.

So now I have to pick media out of the hollow points of over 500 bullets. Not like it takes much effort. It's the fact that this little surprise is going to cost me time. The bullet at the top is a 125gr bullet and it has a tiny piece of media in it as well. First time I've had this happen, in tens of thousands of bullets, and can't say I'm happy about it.
