prowlerMan Report post Posted October 14, 2012 I went out with my buddy to help him sight his gun in and he was not getting anything close to what I would call a group. Upon closer inspection of the bullets he bought, we noticed that a couple of the cases had serious defects and two of the bullets he fired the primers completely popped out of the cases (which you can see behind the bullets with defects in the picture). He also commented after the first couple shots that the recoil was more than normal too. My initial thought was that they were bad bullets but I have never come across anything like this before. Have any of you seen this happen in factory ammo before or could it be a issue with the gun? Thanks for any input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
reganranch Report post Posted October 14, 2012 Thats not good. I would send a letter to Winchester with pictures. Probably get a free box(es) of new ammo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10Turkeys Report post Posted October 14, 2012 Tell your buddy DO NOT shoot any more of those bullets! He has two blown primers and on those case heads there is shiney marks from being slammed into the ejector, my bet that the bolt was hard to open also. It's all from too much pressure. One of my buds had the same thing happen to him about 20 years ago and he sent the bullets back and got a free box. A rifles action can take so much pressure and that one has reached it's limit or close to it, bad things happen when they do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pine Donkey Report post Posted October 15, 2012 My son had a similar problem, but before we figured it out, it broke a spring in his bolt. Contact Winchester they will want to take care of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gauchoand Report post Posted October 16, 2012 I have had that with a box of Remington core-lok in 30-30 I still have the ammo never fired it from like 8 years ago. But you don't understand what I really think about Remington stuff. I'd just rather not deal with them over 20 bucks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
