CCI Blazer 124gr FMJ from ACE Buyers Guns short OAL ammo
« on: January 26, 2022, 05:12:08 PM »
I just received a 20 box shipment from ACE Buyers Guns and the first box I opened up has five rounds shorter than the rest?  This can’t be safe. 
They measure:1.070, 1.085, 1.082, 1.095, 1.125
The majority measure 1.155 OAL

The next box of 20 measures:
1.050, 1.055, 1.075,1.110,1.130,1.155, 1.151 OAL

Yeah that's about what you run into with cheap plinking ammo. I have some Blazer Brass from the pre-plandemic days and it's not all consistent either. You can ship it back to them or send it to me as I run an unsafe ammo disposal unit. O0

Thanks for the reply. I bought the CCI Speer brand thinking it was one of the better quality ammo Mfrs. I have never had this issue before with this brand of ammo? Never again. I have requested a return label and credit.

To my  surprise, ABguns.com responded immediately with a UPS prepaid return label, with credit to follow. I was expecting a hassle, must be an upstanding reputable establishment.

If I had known how much better being retired is than working I would have done it FIRST.

Is the defective shorter OAL ammo dangerous to shoot?

I certainly could be.

Is there a published velocity listed on the box ?

That OAL is all over the place.

I don't recall, I don't think so. I returned them for credit.
