sketch Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Picked up some 230gn remington umc subs at the lgs 20$ per 20 ehh its on the shelf! Not familiar with their pratice or products but theese look to be remaned? Pulled pills and dented brass... Nothing on the box/packaging? Shoot it with no worries or send it back? Thanks for your thoughts gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Looks like a defect to me. I've shot a metric schit,ton of remanufactured ammo and never seen that issue on the bullet before........ Edited March 16, 2016 by jtallen83 damn that poop function!

survivalshop Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) What its say on the Base of the case ? Those Bullets look like they have been Swaged to make the pointy end . I have some Nosler 155 gr. Match bullets that show signs of it , but nothing like that . Also looks like a Lee Factory Crimp on them , but I have seen MilSpec with the same crimp markings.

sketch Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Took a box to the range and asked the RO he said they will shoot but will be un balanced and defitnetly a risk of baffle strike suppresed! Fook me! Lgs is no returns on ammo.... Well i now have a ton of 300 blk brass to relode as soon as i waste the time and money to shoot it ?

survivalshop Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Well, worse case , you have good brass to reload , as you said . Have you tried any of this fodder , how unstable can the Bullet get after it leaves the Barrel & passes through the Suppressor ? Your Suppressor is, how long ? I don't buy that it will be that unstable , Call or Email Remington & have the Box of Ammo Handy for any details they ( Remington ) may require . They should say if its OK the Shoot it through a Suppressor or not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'd be contacting Remington/UMC. Email them a link to this thread too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell. Send it over here. I'll take care of shooting it for you. And I'll even send you the brass back my man. Cause that's just the kinda guy I am. laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sketch Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have to recall from memory but I let the lgs contact remmington and had to follow up myself with the lgs .. by memory, its fine shoot it. i did not use it in the can and its been long since shot up in a 16" barrel with no qualms.. id say use this ammo with discretion of the same lot and bullet deformations.. thats all the info i have? sorry to be late on my follow up..? I hope its long gone from the lgs for others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
