Did you explain to him the deal, that it is allowed if you show your NJ FID? I know I have had to send a copy of mine to a few companies I buy ammo from.

Oh well, more business for Cabelas.

I would highly recommend staying away from that ammo.

Why is that?

Look for a thread in here. People had problems with it.

I have yet to contact Remington about the problem, but definitely plan to soon.

[georgemc 18]

Went thru my UMC rounds (500)when you first posted, haven't found nothing wrong with any.

Ditto. I had the same issue as those in the above link with more than a few rounds when shooting this ammo today. Don't know if I got a bad lot since I never had problems with this ammo in the past. Don't know how many got past me, but it shot hot as hell, smoked like mad and was not at all accurate. Still have 250 rds. of the stuff left that I'll go through before my next range session. I'll be contacting Remington during the week.

[vjf915 456]

I have 38 bad rounds out of the 150 rounds remaining. With that percentage, I had about 62 bad rounds in the box, or about 25% of the rounds were bad. I am highly disappointed as that is a TOTALLY unacceptable ratio, and simply replacing the box of ammo won't really improve my perception of Remington anytime soon.

Chris also had some bad umc rounds if I recall. Troy may have, also.

I sent an e-mail, and then called Remington yesterday. I still haven't been assigned a rep yet to review this issue. I was on hold for 20 minutes.

Honestly, the CSR I spoke to seemed a bit perturbed about the ammo issue. Said she never heard anything about bullets seated to far into the case. We'll see how this turns out. If the CS is this bad for an ammo issue, I would no longer even consider their new 1911.

The rep I had was very pleasant, even though I dialed into the wrong department! He said he was sending me a prepaid envelope, and that they wanted 2-3 sample rounds. He also stated that they were pretty good with replacing the ammo, and sometimes even go a little further. Will keep it updated.

[savageshooter 10]

Received a pre-paid Fed-ex label from Remington today with a letter asking me to send them a few of the bad rounds and box flap. I'll update as it progresses.

Humm. How did you guys find that your ammo was bad? I'll have to check the remmy UMC I have. I've 50 rounds of it with no issues.

I was loading mags on the line and something didn't feel right. Took a look and sure enough saw some "short" rounds. Also had a couple of FTF's and flame thrower type rounds during the same session. You could just pull a tray out of the box, and look down the top to try and spot the short rounds. Or, if you have time on your hands, do a lineup of rounds next to each other.

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I did notice that compared to my federal champion walmart ammo, the bullets are pushed a little further into the case, but they felt firm.. I only tested a couple though.

I bought bad ammo from federal last summer. .45ACP. It had no rim. No idea what would have happened if I fired it. Also several boxes of UMC .357 Sig had about 25% that wouldn't fire from a P226. Everybody has bad ammo once in a while. I guess the only way to avoid it is to load your own. But who has the time and money for that? lol. I had no idea you could return defective ammo for a refund. Live and learn.

True, it takes time. But it saves lots of money or, in my case, lets you shoot lots more for the same amount of money.

I tried to order some as well. The customer service rep I talked to didnt help either. Quote" I am unable to provide a reason why we cannot ship to you at this time".

Crap
