    I’m not really sure where I pick this stuff up from… But I just got done building an M9 slide and needed to function test it.

    So I pull out this box of 100 round baggies of 9 mm noting the similarity to drug shipments you see in the movies... and gave the ammo a quick whirl.

    Shooting only two magazines through the gun I had five failure to feeds.

    When I realized I couldn’t force the slide closed, I knew there was something wrong with the ammo.

    For giggles I picked up a Sheridan engineer ring case gauge and started checking the rounds one at a time to see how many bad ones there seem to be:

    Bad ones in 400rnds so far:

    Anybody else have any experience with these guys?
     
    By the way this is what they look like when they see like like they’re supposed to:

    I love the Sheridan engineer in case gauges
