Holy crap, that would’ve been disturbing.
Did you chrono any?

Why would you ever consider using that in the first place? Particularly you guys.
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

I bought a bunch of crap 308 years ago, it was 200 degrees and we were bored. I said, lets dump this box of crap. Got very lucky no primers got stuck. No chrono for this trash. It actually shot ok, for pure garbage, speaks to be infamous MWS.Originally Posted by ggammell

Perfectly good pressure...you're not looking at the labor saving benefits...ammo that is self di-capping. What a boon to reloading!

No. I didn't notice until we'd shot the whole box.

I had a similar weird experience probably 10 or 15 years ago.
Went to the gun show. Ammo man was selling 5.56 with SS109 bullets for a reasonable price, in fifty round boxes. Stuff was made in Greece. Open up the box, this stuff looked beautiful. Three-stake primers, green sealant neatly applied, pretty brass and bullets. I wanted to buy a case, but I thought better make sure, so I only bought a fifty round box.
Took it to the range and shot it in my Mini-14 truck gun. Good heavens. Minis are not known for accuracy, but this stuff made buckshot patterns at 25 yards. Some rounds failed to cycle the gun--if you can't cycle a mini-14, something's seriously wrong. Some of the primers fell out. You could feel the difference in recoil from round to round.
After about 25 rounds I quit and put the rest of the box in the trash. Good thing I didn't buy that case!
Moral of the Story: just because ammo looks good, doesn't mean it isn't dookie.

I keep an old single stage on the end of the bench to pull bullets down on shady ammo like that so I can get some use out of the components.
