Default Seriously, Remington?
I'm glad this was facing up as I loaded it. That's lead showing where a chunk of brass should be.



I've bought three 500-round packs of Remington Thunderbolts. In the first box, I had my first ever true squib round (bullet didn't clear the barrel). The second box went well. Now with this one, I've had a bunch of lead deposits in the barrel and today, this. I guess that's what I get for buying the cheapest stuff out there.

And of course I sometimes shoot CCI Mini-Mags (because someone will bring it up).

Good catch, hate to imagine what could have happened...

I've had nothing but bad luck with the Thunderbolts myself. Same problems from the get go through 3 different guns...now I can't give that crap away...

That's what happens when you try to run production at 110%.
