Default Oh Daddy!

Thanks so much for posting. I doubt I ever would have heard about it. I have a box and half that no longer has the box for lot numbers. I called and stated that, they said no problem. Do not use. Wait for our return shipping instructions. Handling it well, though I am disappointed that their process could allow a double powder charge!
and now that little voice in my head wondering if my fail to eject issues with an m&p22 and rem 597 are a result of big banging rounds!
