I purchased a loose case of reman .223 a couple years ago from American Gun Wrangler, LLC. Well, today just before loading a mag from the freshly opened case, I decided to weigh a random sample of 10 rounds to see how consistent they were. Well, that was a good idea. The first 3 rounds weighed about 170gr, the 4th one weighed 140gr.... Uh oh. Pulled the bullet, no powder.
I sat down and weighed EVERY SINGLE ROUND of that 1,000rd case. I had 6 primer only charges. I'm so very glad I listened to my gut and weighed them. A squib load in my new AR would have been very bad, let alone 6 of them...:banghead:
Now I'm trying to figure out, what propellent they used 30gr of behind a 55gr pill... I'd ask them, but they presumably went out of business, go figure.
