A lot of times I'm talking while loading magazines and not paying a lot of attention. Fortunately, I was paying attention. This was a commercial Remington i.e. it wasn't a reload. I hate to think what might have happened to my Kimber had I noticed this.  Modified to add: FYI for photo fans: Nikon Zoom 28-85 Macro setting on Nikon D100 F4.5 1/1600 sec 28mm Spot Metering |

That looks terrible! You should send the pic to Remington. Maybe they'll be embarassed enough to send you a Model 700.

I always transfer my cartridges to the plastic cases and inspect each for O.A.L. and primer cap seating before putting the case in the ammo cabinet. When I take the plastic cases out for use, I open each with a visual inspection before putting in the range bag, and do the same thing again before I begin loading from each plastic case. I know it seems alot of trouble, but it's really not, it just much safer than loading from the factory box.

Actually, I bought a case of this Remington so I have the boxes, and that may give them something to go on. I think I'll just mail the whole thing to them. DA, I thought one only had to be careful with remanufactured ammo. I may be going back to S&B. Never had anything like this in the thousands of rounds of S&B. |

TMan; I've found the remanufactured factory loaded ammo from georgia arms to be far better than most of those offered from from the big name companies. I once had the neck of a 357 sig case split open and found it was from a box Federal Premium.

What I don't like about remanufactured is that you have no idea how many times a case has been stretched and reloaded. A thin case can spell disaster in a chamber that doesn't have good support example: Glocks.
I do use remanufactured .223 ammo, but it is done by one local guy that has been doing it for 17 years for a living. The stuff is beautiful. Open a box of new stuff and it doesn't look as nice as the remanufactured

As much business as I've done with georgia arms over the years, and the different cartridges I've bought from them, the only reloaded cases I've purchased through them, for semi-auto pistols, have been with the .45 acp; Everything else I've bought from them was with their use of new Starline brass, revolver cartridges, or the .223. Georgia Arms doesn't accept turn in brass for rifle cartridges or the 38 super.
