The new ammo from Freedom I've have had no problems. Had several squibs with their reman ammo. Both in my XD and M&P. So I only use the new ammo from Freedom.
This scares me. Any kind of ftf/fte etc will make you pay attention really quick if you're not to begin with. I like reloading because I KNOW how each round was made. Glad you're ok!
WOW I've never run into that with Freedom Munitions. They've always sent me good stuff, but they sometimes take FOREVER to get it to me (like 3 - 4 weeks). I'm glad you're okay, dude!
I got my replacement in Wednesday. I've only shot 10 so far. All those went bang so they are already better than the last batch.
A few weeks ago while taking a class, one of the other guys had a squib with Blazer brass. The bullet barely made it a 1/4" down the barrel.
That sucks.
Yeah. That sucks for sure.
At least it didn't even have enough powder to halfway cycle the slide so he knew something was wrong immediately.
Just got back from the range with my FEG Hi Power. Still having the occasional fail to eject (stovepipes) and fail to go into battery, along with the occasional double feed. I have new MecGar mags and replaced all the slide springs, so I'm thinking WTF?
Got home, field stripped it and started the "drop in test" to see if the ammo was oversize. This is ammo from the same company (not the same exact ammo) that gave me the squib. Yes, I got stupid and forgot where I got the first batch from and ordered another batch of reman 9mm.
The red poly coated bullet ammo (which the Hi Po HATES) wouldn't drop all the way into the chamber 100% of the time. It feeds perfectly fine in my Ruger 1911, so I'll use it there. The new batch of FMJ drops in better (almost all the way in) but not completely. I can really tell the difference when I drop in quality new ammo (Sig, Federal, etc...). Guess I'll have to use factory new ammo in the Hi Po and remind myself to never buy from that company again.

Truth for sure.
