Most were crimp issues. A few were squibs. I once had an entire 20 round box of Remington 270 that the case would expand so much that they would not extract - I tried 3 different guns on this ammo and every last case had to be driven out.<br /><br />I have never had a defective hand load. I have dropped the powder loads so low that they would not cycle my semi-auto pistol but this was by design as I was looking for the lowest powder charge that would still cycle the 9mm while using a 100 grain cast alloy bullet - I was looking for cheap and I found it. tsquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737130316088634658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-29357286155918659662015-10-31T06:36:48.618-07:002015-10-31T06:36:48.618-07:00Ive had Winchester WB have similar QC issues.... ....Ive had Winchester WB have similar QC issues.... .

As if it is suppose to mean something.<br /><br />Liberals. They're the only ones who are so trusting of their well-being to authority figures. Oh, the kid was new to the game and had never cleaned his pistol before going to the chronograph stage. And he thought I should give him a 'bye'.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Jerry The Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181610016755426448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-54547012882736300842015-10-29T11:19:30.893-07:002015-10-29T11:19:30.893-07:00Heh!

Yeah, that QC department let those two get by, and in the same box.<br /><br />I've gotten ammo like that, but never two in the same box, especially from Winchester.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.com
