Just another warning to check your ammo...

[Traxxis]

This is a brand new FACTORY American Eagle 9mm 147 grain round we found when test firing a pistol. You can actually see the bottom of the bullet itself and I think if I really wanted to, I could pull the bullet out.

The photo was taken with my cell phone... I can take better photos if anybody really needs to see some.

Anyway... moral of the story... CHECK YOUR AMMO! I don't know what, if anything it would have done to shoot it, but I don't think I want to find out. Kudos to the Wife for catching it!

Ive had some similar instances of that defect with the winchester 100 rd white box 9mm FMJ. I always have caught it before loading the magazines however. Out of 1k rounds I have used of winchester, about 8 have been defective like that.

Uploaded a different photo... I up'ed the resolution on this phone... heck, who needs my Nikon anymore??

I have found a wrong caliber here and there in a few of my winchester boxes. Guess it's the price you pay for cheap ammo I'm glad your wife caught that. Better safe than sorry.

FACTORY doesn't mean that the ammo is perfect. It just means good enough, plus profit.

Checking one's ammo sounds like something John Farnam would advocate.

Oh, wait: The Final Inspector

Email the manufacturer. They will probably give you a gift certificate. It will also help them identify the problem that allowed this to escape.

Unfortunately, it was one of the very last rounds left in the box.
