Ok, I have another thread talking about M1A kabooms and whatnot and it seems that a lot of people are blaming this kind of thing on reloaded ammo. Here is the deal, I am kind of worried about this but am not sure exactly what to look for on the bullet casing to spot a bad round whether it be a reload or not. I never usually use reloads to be honest, but in making the last 3 pistol purchases I made the seller (a guy I worked with at the time, now a cop) threw in some ammo with the purchase, something in the neighborhood of 250-500 rounds per gun. So, even though the ammo is in a store bought looking package, most of it UMC of some sort, I am not sure whether they are reloads or not. How can I tell? Can anyone post pics as reference to things I should be looking at? Oh, and the caliber handguns we are talking about is 9mm and .45. I mean I knew the guy and worked with him and whatnot but if these are reloads then I would rather not mess with them if you know what I mean. My final question is if you spot a bad round that you determine you will never shoot, then how do you dispose of it?
