1. Agreed. I was patient. I gave them 3 opportunities before posting the issue on forums. 2. This is not a failure to feed or failure to eject, aka common malfunction. The cartridges are not exploding in the firearm blasting the magazine out of the gun resulting in a KABOOM or case...

Blazer brass and other similar offerings is what I am referring to as light loads or standard factory ammunition. A 155 XTP at 1300 fps is still in 40 S&W territory, this malfunction also happened with warm 180 gr loads. Yes these loads are hot, but they are within SAMMI spec, the gun should...

This does not happen with light factory ammo. This does happen with full power self defense loads. This has happened with ammunition that runs completely fine in my fathers Ruger SR40c. If the problem was a failure to feed, failure to eject, etc. then I would say I need to try a different...

The failures occur with full power ammunition, it does not occur with light factory/target ammunition. I have heard good things about Underwood, they seem to make high quality products.
