Target sports brand ammo failures

So with this said, alot of these rounds that dont fit in the walther fit in my sp01 chamber with no issue. So, pending they pass this test in the sp01 barrel, they should be good to fire in that gun right. 

Assuming you aren't experiencing other quality-control issues with the ammo (squibs, overpressure signs like flattened or pierced primers, split cases) I think the ammo would be fine to shoot in the other gun.  Match guns are expected to have tighter chamber tolerances, so use that ammo up in the other gun, find something else that works better in the Walther.

I do not like the off center cant that can be seen....

Once fired the round may enter the rifling off center axis...if so, it could cause fliers and accuracy issues.

Also lets say i miss one, whats the worse that could happen? A jam? Worse?

Assuming it is an issue with sizing, the worst would be a jam.  A new gun shouldn’t fire out-of-battery (I.e. not locked up) so a case head separation would be unlikely

When it comes to inspecting, in the round drops into the chamber properly, its good to go right? Theres a bunch that simply are sized wrong. Im hoping they offer to take this crap back or credit me partially. Well see. 

Do like Howard.   Get a new gun out of it.   His glock actually got f’d up from freedom reloads. 

Or use it in a 929.  They like a little wider 9’s.

It wasn't a Glock, it was a 1911. There was no thread because Howard (no longer on this forum - moved to a free state) signed a non-disclosure agreement.
