Winchester QC issues

At the range today and pulled this out of the brand new box. Still working on getting through the box so I’ll update if I find anymore.

With the amount of ammo that is being produced right now, I've been seeing more and more factory QC issues at my range as well. I've seen 3 or 4 squibs, 2 split neck 38's, and a few others (not my ammo, but with customers at the range). QC has clearly gone by the wayside as production has increased.

I saw that there was a recent recall on some Winchester ammo. Maybe this box is included?

@PanhandleGlocker, here's a link to the recall. It provides the affected lot numbers, and where on the ammo box you the numbers are stamped.

I’ll look it up. If I remember right this box is actually 3 years old at least. I guess I shouldn’t have said “brand new” in my post.

I had a co worker bring me a box of 9mm ammo (dont remeber which company)years ago that they forgot to put the primers in had powder all over the inside of the box.

I guess turning it up to 11 doesn't work at the factory.

Made me think of Elmer Fudd... maybe it's for shooting around corners?
