I just recently purchased some Buffalo Bore FMJFN .45 ACP +P ammo for my P90. As with any ammunition, I wanted to run some through first to be sure it would feed reliably and there would be no issues. I loaded up my magazine with 8 rounds and started firing. After the 7th shot, something happen. The last remaining round in the magazine flew back towards me and actually went into the top of my jacket. It wasn't going very fast, so no risk of injury. I'm assuming round 7 was ejecting and somehow caught round 8 in the magazine and ejected it as well. I noticed this indentation on the bullet of round 8:
Should I be concerned? I field stripped and inspected the pistol and everything appeared to be fine. The P90 is used, so I'm a little wary of any issues, as I can't guarantee what the previous owner did to it.
I'm also planning on getting into reloading, so I went case hunting after the 7 shots. Upon retrieving three cases, I noticed another thing that made me wonder. The primer strike is very off-center. The pin appears to have initially struck the primer in the center, but 'slipped' and made it's major indentation off-center. Here is a picture:
I'm fairly inexperienced here, so I was hoping someone would be able to help me out. Thanks a lot!
