Factory ammunition surprise

[2152hq]

In '07, a top shooter, Todd Jarrett, in the USPSA pistol match finals had a malfunction in a match.

No flashhole in brand new Hornady 38TJ brass that he reloaded.

There's always a chance that a bad one will end up in the mix,,no matter how good they say the QC is.

Late 1960's-
Ft McClellan, AL.-
Infantry AIT-

We were shooting 'familiarization' with the M-16. (normal issue was the M-14)
I popped the top on a fresh 50cal can of 5.56 ammo from Remington arms and grabbed a bandolier. Two rounds had inverted primers.
A year later, you can be SURE I was checking EVERY round that went into a mag very closely.......

Check their website for...that round may be part of a contest like the golden Willy Wonka chocolate ticket. Who knows, you might get a tour of the plant or some free ammo...unless of course you misbehave and they stuff you down that chute like that bratty kid from the movie.

That's just a simi-jacketed wad-cutter, got mixed in with some FMJ. Ha.
'Proves we should always eyeball every round, especially when the shoothing is for real.
