.... while I was reloading her I found this:



The box was new and factory sealed. I guess that is today's quality control.

Looks like that one slipped through.

QC now days? Was bad ammo in the past unheard of?

With hundreds of millions of rounds being produced for consumption, I think 1 or 2 may slip through.

If you lived in Mass you would be entitled to grief counseling. LOL

I have been experiencing QC for decades. Overall, actually I think QC may be better today than it was in 1955.... New technology culls out a lot of things that would have been missed by old-fashioned humans. Believe me, I have seen a lot worse than that, even with mil. spec. stuff. It pays to be aware of what we are working with. That would not have chambered in a Mod.17 either. I save my rejects, and the pile is not huge.

Question

Is that ding on the rim a dent or a puncture? I'm a wee bit surprised the round didn't detonate at the factory during such dramatic abuse.

.22 LR ammo is tougher than we thought! If you could get it to chamber, I bet it would discharge.............
