I don't have any of their ammo, but do have some of their guns.

I would be happy to have a few thousand rounds. Disassemble it and reload it.

EVERY and ALL ammo company's have a recall from time to time. When you are manufacturing ANY product in mass quantities there is bound to be a lot that is less than perfect. With the speed of these automated machines, a few minutes can dump lots of bad product out to the market and obviously each one can not be tested. Quite honestly, considering just how many rounds they produce, its actually amazing that almost all of it comes out perfect! Thankfully, when the the major players catch the mistake and issue a recall they are taking the responsibility they should be. Thankfully it is not an everyday occurrence.

Exactly. My LE distributor had two full pallets of Speer Gold Dot GD2 147gr 9mm that was ever so slightly oversize at the case mouth. Something went amiss in the taper crimp step. He sells retail in a little shop up front of his main warehouse, to individual officers. He used to be a cop, so he has maintained a portal in his business to deal directly with individuals.

Anyway... loose packed 2100 round boxes clearly marked NOT FOR DUTY USE - PRACTICE AMMO. $359. This was just before the latest ammo fiasco. I bought a box. It ran in everything I tried it in and was OHHHH so quiet in my suppressed HKs.

I went back and got 2 more cases. I have found ONE gun that will not shoot it. I have a Taurus G3C that I use in training now and then. Evidently the throat on it is tight... like right on spec I assume. It feeds everything else, but this bulk GD will not chamber completely and can be a small problem to get back out. Other than that I have run it in lotsa other guns without issue.

The biggest issue is keeping it separate from my duty ammo which is the same round.

The point being, as stated above, ALL ammo mfgs have something like this from time to time, and depending on the issue it can benefit us for practice under the right circumstances.

Does Sig actually make the ammo, or do they have Winchester make it for them? I read an American Rifleman article about the M17 when it first came out and the impression I got is that Sig contracts all this stuff out.

Brought to you by the same company that brought you firearms that fire without the trigger being pulled. No wonder they won all the military contracts, they are just so gosh darn good at this.

If you reload, setup your crimp die and crank them out. Will be perfect when done.
