Always inspect your ammo before firing

[TreyG-20]

I just bought a couple of boxes of Winchester PDX1 ammo for my .380 TCP. This is the first round I pulled out of the box.

Man I'd send a picture of that to winchester. No way that should have been boxed.

+1 to that idea. That could've been gnarly.

I just did. This could have been really bad considering I'm using it out of a little mouse gun. I always check my ammo and this is the reason why.

I don't even though I know I should, but thanks for the kick in the butt to do so.

It could benefit your health. I know how easy it can be to be distracted when loading magazines. I'm guilty of watching TV or doing other things while I'm loading up. Thankfully today I was much more aware of the task a hand.

Wow. Thanks for the reality check! Good eye.

Factory ammo is not perfect, even the expensive stuff.

Good catch.

 

[Joshsquatch]

No way! I am going to go check right now.

 

[scap99]

I'd pull the trigger on it.
I've shot worse. Lol.


Sent from me.

No it's not. It's a lot easier to catch when it's expensive carry rounds imo and not cheap bulk ammo.

I am surprised that we don't see more bad rounds, qc must be pretty darn good considering the thousands of rounds that come off of the machines every day.

They probably either get shot or tossed and nobody mentions it. I've shot hundreds upon thousands of rounds in my lifetime and this is a first to see one that bad out of the box. .22 lr I find all the time with jacked up bullets, but that just be expected for cheap ammo. I'm am suprised to see one of Winchesters best selling defense ammuntion in this shape. If it had been some white box it would have been less surprising to me.

Happens.

Quite often, given billions of rounds are manufactured year in, year out.
