I couple of months ago I bought 550 rounds of 38 wadcutters from a gun show in San Jose. Since then I've shot about 300, and I am beyond disappointed.
4 rounds wouldn't even chamber because the cases has been crushed outward or the bulets were maformed.
The loading is inconsistant, and with it the accuracy. A number of bullets were in upside down as well.
And worst of all, the last time I was at the range there was a squib! I was shooting and heard a "pop" rather than a bang. I stopped shooting, tilted the gun up about 45 degrees, and saw half of a bullet sticking out of the barrell.
I don't know if I am being reasonable, but I don't feel comfortable shooting the rest of the batch. I can't imagine that pulling a bullet out of your barrell is good for the gun, and I'm sure it would be very bad if I were to not notice and try to shoot another round through the gun. I'm rather fond of my fingers--can't count without them.
If anybody is interested, the place I bought them from was:
Richard Davis
Modesto, CA 95350
209-526-4059
PS: What is the proper way to dispose of ammo that you don't feel safe putting through a gun?
PPS: Anybody have any experience with the Jackson Arms reloads?
Thanks everybody
