Careless

[S&W2244]

I had 2 boxes of new Remington 130 grain FMJ 38 special on the top shelf, about 6 feet off the ground. I careless moved the shelf and they fell 6 feet onto a concrete garage floor. The boxes are broken and dented, but did i damage the ammo? The cartridges all seem to be ok and not deformed or dented. What do you think? Thanks for your reply.

cartridges

if they will chamber and the bullets are not pushed into the case they will be fine.

Ronnie is correct. If the bullet looks set back into the case, don’t use it. A bullet that is set back in its case will produce increased pressure when fired. How much pressure is hard to say but you could end up destroying a good gun or worse.
