2cd pic doesnt look too bad to me but that first picture has primers i would not like to see.
Can you clarify "he got the loads from Hornady"? If they are over published max i doubt anyone at Hornady gave him that load and ive gone onto a number of forums without anyone coming close to that. I would be very cautious. My advice to the young man would be to pull those and stick to book max until he got quite a bit more experience.
Lack of experience does not make a person stupid. He went to where lots of kids get advice now for good or ill. This is a golden opportunity to help him out before he gets hurt
