The IMI ammo issue was bugging me and I did a search over on AR15.com and found some threads from last summer and a couple of previous years on overly hot 5.56 and other ammo.

This is not the first overly hot 5.56 loads IMI has produced. The most recent was a recall last summer on IMI 5.56 ammo Lot: 00212/G . This ammo was hot enough that it flattens primers, leaks gas around the primers, or blows crimped primers out. Previous problems was IMI razor core 77gr 5.56 Lot 00229/F that was sold 2013/14. IMI 7.62x51 ammo Lot: 00403/E in 2015 had the same issues.

DPMS had added IMI to their list of ammo that voids their warranty prior to last summers recall. To be fair DPMS has a fairly big list of ammo that will void it warranty. DPMS
