Might want to have a look if you have any Winchester 9mm.

Those pages appear to have been removed. Interesting.

Edited: Looks like the OP had the links go bad in some way. This works.

Browning Ammunition Recall: 9mm Luger 115 grain

 

[s&wchad]

From the recall notice:

NOTE: If ammunition of the above Symbols was purchased before March 25, 2021, it is NOT subject to the recall.

That saves me from checking a lot of boxes. No chance I bought any at pandemic pricing, even if I could have found it on the shelf.

So Browning sourced their ammo from Winchester, at least for this particular batch. Exact same problem and the Browning lot numbers are smack in the middle of the Winchester lot numbers.

No surprise but interesting.

The problem is failure of powder to properly ignite/burn leading to a risk a bullet could get lodged in the barrel.

Adding to the OP- this includes Herter's as well.

I quit buying Winchester ammo several years ago--to many failures to fire. I haven't had that problem with Remington, Federal, Fiocchi, Sellier & Bellot, or Browning. I always considered Browning to be good quality ammo. I'm sorry to hear they are dealing with Winchester now.

It pays to take the time to discover which 'brands' actually manufacture, and which are just names on boxes.

Browning, Herter's, Monarch, maybe some more: just boxes.

Herter's used to be made by Sellier & Bellot, now it's Winchester (and with a recall notice ).
Monarch is still PPU for brass, I believe Barnaul for steel.
Browning apparently is Winchester.

I wonder what the Sig brand really is. You know Sig doesn't have a factory making ammo, most likely. Just a 'cool' name.

Sig Sauer set up their own ammo plant in Arkansas a few years ago. So, yes, they design and manufacture everything in house.

I didn't know that, Thanx............

That's good to hear. So, yet another source of production, the more the merrier.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

It turns out that the 8 boxes of Herters 9mm that I recently bought at Cabelas is in fact Winchester.
I checked it online when this Thread was first posted.
Today I got a Letter from Cabelas explaining the situation with the Recall Lot Numbers.
I really appreciate that and I checked my Bullets again, just in case.
No Recall for me!
Shoot that Glock!
