washguy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Got mine today....yikes...mine are headstamped 308kingsize.....they dont feed real good and i have to take a mallet and hit the forward assist a couple of times to get em to chamber....once chambered i cant eject them by hand..so I had to fire off from the backyard....we live 300 yds behind the police substation it was touch and go for a while :) Wash
LeatherNuts Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I can't tell you how much i hope you got a poop batch wash. A fair about of money was spent and I'll be REALLY disappointed if it's crap. Maybe I'm just way too new to this, but it appears to me that those are soft tip not OTM or am i dumb?

Dale Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 got my 200rds in this morning... all "Pierce 308" marked cases... who's Pierce?... never heard of them before...I did get another batch from them that was all SSA brass, loaded with 150gr Noslers... have yet to shoot any of it...
Dane Armory Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Wash why don't you try it in one of those old 308s with big holes for chambers instead of your tight chamber new girls... Err Guns ! Edited March 25, 2015 by Dane Armory
washguy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Wash why don't you try it in one of those old 308s with big holes for chambers instead of your tight chamber new girls... Err Gun Dane cause it wont fit in that girl...its too big 30.06 <laughs> Wash
Malig8r Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Posted March 26, 2015 but it appears to me that those are soft tip not OTM or am i dumb? You are not dumb...the cartridges shown in Washguy's picture are indeed soft tip and not the OTM ones.
LeatherNuts Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 I figured as it went on i got caught up in something.
washguy Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 I figured as it went on i got caught up in something. Leather...not to worry its fine ammo! thats 30.06 in the 308 mag... good eye on the soft tip! :) Wash
LeatherNuts Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 I was serious earlier when i said i picked up a few cases, you really had me going for a minute.
warthog984 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 I got mine today. I only opened one box. I can see small blemishes on the case were it tapers. No big deal. All of the cases in that box were marked "Pierce 308". I went back on their website today and the prices went up.
washguy Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 I was serious earlier when i said i picked up a few cases, you really had me going for a minute. Its fine ammo! you will be pleased...you do know that Nosler bought out Silver State...read it somewhere...great ammo got your morning going for ya though didnt I? :) Wash
ironmonster Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 The first 20 boxes I bought did not have "blem" stickers on the box. The second batch of 25 all had little round "blem" stickers on the box. All of them I opened had Pierce marked cases
LeatherNuts Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Just got mine in and given how this thread has been going I was more then a little nervous, so I ripped open the box and started inspecting every single round. Quality seems AMAZING, but when I went to load them into a mag I started having the same issues Wash had. After a couple attempts of not being able to get more then one round to load in the magazine I decided to try and single load them, this proved to be VERY difficult but after removing the lower and using a rubber mallet to the back of the bolt while the rifle was locked in a vise the round seemed to slide right in. No sooner did I get the weapon back together a yeti walked into my backyard, it was the damnedest thing. Raise the weapon to my shoulder and squeezed one off almost cutting him in half it was absolutely amazing. I am so impressed with these rounds I will absolutely be buying more when they go on sale again, I only hope to be able to figure out how to get them to cycle better. I've attached some photos that I took while I was having the initial problems. Edited March 27, 2015 by LeatherNuts
washguy Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 <lmao> So, yours are head stamped Kingsize too? not to worry :) Wash
LeatherNuts Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Ya with a 50 on the headstamp. Honestly though they showed up today and looked great, i can't wait to try them out. Edited March 27, 2015 by LeatherNuts
Malig8r Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Posted March 28, 2015 It's the damndest thing, sure am glad I ordered mine early...seems I'm the only one that got the 308 rounds that fit into mags! Seriously though, I'm glad everyone got a chance to pick up some premium ammo at a decent price. Have fun at the range fellas.
