USA Ammo Blew Up M&P15

[saddlerocker]

No, this didnt happen to me.....
I hope its ok to post this link here like this, I just think this may be some important info.

This guys S&W M&P15 exploded, and the CEO of the ammo company supposedly said they have been having problems with overpressured ammo due to the powder.
If the CEO admitted that quick about an issue it might be common.
Some of the people replying say they had issues with the 7.62x51 as well.
Something to watch for if you have bought their ammo recently

THAT... does qualify as "EPIC!"



I've got some of their ammo from about 3-4 years ago - it's on the bottom of one of my 40mm cans... just above the Wolf lacquered stuff!

I just bought 1000rd from USA Ammo in 9mm. I have gone through over 1500 rd from them already, but none in 5.56 or any other caliber. Hopefully they have fixed the issue. I will not buy rifle loads from them.

Yeah... too much of it.

Yeah... too much of it.

Most likely due to too much of the wrong powder...

Awesome. Can't wait to get that 500rds of .223 I just ordered.

Threads like this pop up all too often IMHO. This illustrates why it's good to have spare weapons and not just spare parts.

I'll be avoiding this ammo until I'm absolutely sure the problem is resolved.

I hear ya...I got a bulk load of 556 coming to me!

Ive been reading that people ordered their USA ammo a while ago with that coupon, but it still hasnt shipped.
Maybe they are looking into the issue, or just making new ammo.
