Hey guys got a question about bullet setback.
I took a look at my glock 17 mag and saw some of the rounds were a little shorter than the others, upon taking some of the rounds out of the mag about 6 rounds were shorter than the others. these are PMC 9mm hollows. Are these too dangerous to shoot? I am concerned with things going KABOOM on me.
Appreciate the help If you can

If you're concerned about them then dispose of them. Not worth risking. With out seeing the ammo of discussion, it is hard to say yay or nay but bullet set back can be a very bad thing and it isn't worth risking.Quote:

This is why I VERY RARELY unload/load my carry gun. I DO NOT like my carry ammo getting banged around by a lot of chamberings.

How much shorter were they?
It still may not be worth it to you to shoot them, but PMC is usually a pretty weak load to begin with, so a minor setback of the bullet probably won't be dangerous to use. That is, unless they were obviously shoved back into the case and actually look damaged....
Measure the OAL and make sure it is within spec....The minimum OAL is around 1.140 depending on bullet and weight/length.....
already trashed them, there were only 6 rounds any ways, I probably would have though.Quote:
