Ignition Override
Member
This is just a recommendation for extra precaution. A previous round had an indented primer, but no ignition. The gun already used approx. 200 rds. with no issues. I will throw the remaining 70 or so rounds into a deep area of the Wolf River.
These remanufactured rounds have various headstamps. Glad that I had decided to stand just to the left of a vertical partition at the range. Otherwise it's impossible to find ejected cases. No issues with similar quantities of Mid South, Tennessee Cartridge, and only minor issues with Tula or Monarch.
This .380 "Echo" round did not sound or feel normal. If my memory is any good after that confusing event, the case did not quite eject, but the case Did have lots of carbon on it.
Removing the slide from the Sig 232, which is fairly new, made it clear the the bullet was stuck in the bore. A few strong pokes with a cleaning rod (muzzle end) from a guy's Mosin Nagant did nothing. Nor did some gentle hammering on the rod.
Hoping that the gun smith is at work today at "Guns And Ammo" in Memphis.
