HSM Ammo: How's the Quality?

[Steve in Utah]

Just bought some HSM (Hunting Shack) .357 Magnum ammo and sadly discovered tiny rocks in about 35 of 50 HP's (Federal 140-gr. bullets).

After digging out the 2 - 3 rocks in each cavity, I also found 1/2 dozen rounds with tiny holes penetrating past the bottom of the HP cavity and possibly all the way through into the case of powder (???).

Naturally I expressed these same concerns to HSM in Montana via e-mail and am waiting for a reply.

This is my first experience with this company and I've heard good things about this place that manufactures tons of practice ammo for many PD's around the country.

My first impressions of this stuff is that I'll never Hunt or Shackup with this ammo again.

Feedback, anyone?

Im surprised... they make all of our custom ammo and most of our hunting ammo and range ammo (they aslo do it for Cabelas)..we have had very few problems..

I would call them up and ask for Bill, the owner, he is a great guy..

Just curious..did you get it from them directly or from a reseller? And werte the boxes sealed?

The purchase was made from a local gunshop and the box was not sealed.

Usually their boxes are sealed..

I do a lot of biz with HSM, if you PM me with your details I will call them for you
