Well Winchester restored my faith. I came home to a 1000 round case of 9mm on my porch tonight.
Same problem here. This was from a 20 round box of Winchester PDX1 ammo. I had this loaded in my carry gun for months.

Another angle. I got the WTF? look from my girlfriend when she saw me doing my little photo shoot. I only said make love to the camera one time...jeesh
That sucks. WWB has these problems, another post not that long ago addressed some Rem UMC "deep-seated" bullets..........I know on some level you get what you pay for, but is there a quality, consistent manufacturer of inexpensive ammo out there anymore?
You actually loaded that into the gun/mag?
If I was going to make a WAG, you've added ' "visual inspection" to the routine?

You got that right. Crazy how that slipped by me. Now it takes me twenty five minutes to load a hi-cap mag.
I've found CCI Blazer Brass and Blazer AL to be very good, overall.
A few years ago I was given a 100 round box of Blazer Aluminum in .38 Special. Most of the cases split when fired so it was a PITA to extract, and it was filthy ammo. The bullets were unjacketed lead, and they looked as rough as playdough or something. The box was free though, so I never got around to complaining.
I should have added the qualifier..... yes, the blazer .38s suck, because the cases expand and often get stuck.
Is there a reason for that, some secret that a reloading guru like yourself would know? After that free box I never bothered with Blazer AL again, but I've had no problems with Blazer brass. Just wondering why .38's would have split cases and not 10mm's.
I picked up 3 boxes of the 185 gr. FMJ .45 ACP range ammo tonight from WalMart, 150 rounds. They're ALL dirty, black crap all over the cases, lots of little dents and dings in the cases. I pulled 7 aside, one looks like someone took a small pick and scratched up the case, 6 of them have what look like a small chip, or really light firing pin strikes on the primers...
I'll put up some pictures tomorrow to see if you guys think I should try to shoot 'em or contact Winchester.
Just got off the phone with Winchester, they're sending a UPS tag so I can ship this bad stuff to them and then they will replace it.
