Over the holidays I picked up a Kimber k6s with a .3" barrel because 3" barrels are the best.
While picking it up I grabbed some range ammo to test it out with. I picked up three boxes of .38 special from a new to me brand named Ammo inc. $20 a box of 50 seemed cheap to me, but I am new to the world of .38 special so I didn't think anything of it. More than 9mm and 380, less than 45 acp, sounded right in my head.
Got home with it all and still had enough daylight to shoot a cylinder or two in my backyard range. Fired my 1st cylinder of 6 shots and was enjoying how mild the recoil was, and how smooth the trigger was. Loaded up my second cylinder and 1st round was a squib, my first squib ever.
Had to use a rod and a hammer to get it out. I googled the company and they have a terrible reputation for squibs. Now I got 53 rounds of ammo I bought from a shop 5 hours away that I don't dare shoot.
So what do I do with this stuff? I dont trust it at all. Do I just store it forever? Break it down into its components and if I ever get into reloading use them up in that? Throw it in a lake and pretend I never saw it?
