22 LR ammo ?
- Thread starter DogBuster
- Start date
In 70 years of shooting 22-
Stocking up has a few pit falls, when buying 5000 or more at a time.
I guess it can be expected with the affordable brands.
1. One Lot bulged the case head. Caused fired casings to be pushed off the slide face on High Standard & M41 pistols. The Ruger MK1s didnt care.
2. A case of Rem promo ammo, left a ring of lead in my S&W M17 barrel. Store took the case back, minus a 100 test rounds.
3. Just lately, bullet diameter oversize. To much coating on the bullet. Dealer would not take back, as i had it a few months before test firing. Said , contact manufacture, i didnt.
Found that my well used Ruger MK1 would chamber and fire, no issues.
The other 2 pistols & 2 rifles can not chamber the ammo.
