    Just pulled this out of my latest WWB. Got that instead of the last two rounds. Guess that's my karmic payback from several boxes that had 101 rounds in them...lol!

    The last box of Winchester I went through had a cartridge with noticeable bullet set back. The front of the bullet barely projected beyond the brass case. I chose not to shoot it. Can only imagine the chamber pressures if it was fully charged.

    near Bedford on a whole lot of land.
    Yep, factory loadings are always better than handloads 8-)

    That's two issues on InGO with factory ammo in the last month. To add a third, I got a .22lr with half the bullet sheared off.

    If that's what gets past quality control I would HATE to see what doesn't!

    I have a box of RWS .38 spcl that the bullets were very loose. So loose that when I rested, and I mean rested my thumb on i pushed the bullet in far. I was also able to pull the projectile out with ease
