This ever happen to anyone?

[tirwin1]

I ordered some 357 ammo online last November from a vendor that I have had good luck with. Like an idiot I did not inspect each box when it arrived. When I did an ammo inventory I opened up a box and found two rounds that were not quite right. A picture is attached.

Has this ever happened to anyone. Is the entire box of 50 round suspect and to be avoided? I have sent a picture to the vendor to see what they say.

File a letter of complaint with the manufacturer. Include lot number. Pictures good.

Remington put a single .243 in my box of .35 Rem. They reimbursed me for the whole box.

Both of those are pretty scary! Gotta start inspecting each and every round I load.

Ehh what is a few thousand psi increase going to hurt?

Your face most likely. Yikes!

this is simply astoundly poor quality control. To let that masive mistake through is unforgivable.

 

[Acer-m14]

you got some free compressed loads .. shoot them LOL ..

 

[togmaster]

Definitely write the manufacturer. It looks like the box could have been dropper or crushed and a few of the heads set back. I would take a caliper to the rest of the box and if the OAL were good on the rest I wouldn't hesitate to use them.

No, that hasn't happened to me yet. I'll be sure to pay more attention now though.

 

[I shoot from da hip]

I just received a 1000 rounds from an online purchase. I'm going to go inspect them later on tonight. Never even occurred to me do that!

Yes, that exact situation happened to me before with a box of Remington 9mm UMC. 2 or 3 out of 50. I'm not the kind of guy to write companies or complain for 20 cents..they went in the pail and I shot the other 47. It was 3 out of dozens of hundreds of hundreds I've shot in past, every one makes a defect or mistake some point in manufacturing. I was kinda scared though shooting the first magazine after seeing those 'smushed in head' defects I ain't gonna lie. lol

The compressed rounds are a serious safety concern. It's not like complaining about the quality control of a package of round tortillas where one is square. If your complaint about the compressed round isn't received by Remington they may never know they could have had a bad lot that should have a safety recall.

Not all complaints are submit with the intention to receive remuneration for the defect.

Very understandable and well spoken as usual.

Precisely this^^^ Manufacturers need to know if they are putting something out that could be harmful so they can investigate their process, and that usually starts with consumer complaints of some sort. (Ever hear of Takata?)

ARMSCOR is junk ammo. Even more dirty than Remington 22s !

 

[4excal]

.22 yellowjax are the dirt of dirty

Just bought 5000 Aguila high speed LRs for 5 cents/round shipped. Great ammo, all I use,

I've seen that in a recent box of .17hmr (1/50), I had 5/50 indented(they called it a plate shift) and I've had aluminum cased 40 s&w snap in half after firing once. I wish I could find the pics of the 40 case cause it snapped horizontal NOT vertically down the case, really weird.

Yup, I only buy Augillas for all my.22 action. Never had an issue and burn couple bricks a week for the past couple years.
