Just in case anyone still buys this stuff, check your serial numbers..
Consumer Notice 38 Special +P
I was wondering about that too. Obviously, very hot .38s are way more dangerous. They'd almost guarantee a law suit. Even way back 80 years ago when you couldn't yet sue over everything, lawyers knew you had to make .357s longer so it wouldn't chamber in a .38.Wait, what?
Is this overloaded .38 cases, or is it in fact .357 mag cases in the boxes?
If so, .357 should not chamber in a .38SPCL...
ADDING:
.357 Mag shouldn't even fit in the box...
Pretty depressing experience there. I've only been shooting for 4 years and I can count the exact number of duds I've ever found, seeing how it's so rare. In CF ammo it was a grand total of 6, where 5 were the fault of the gun. 5 rounds of Blazer .44 Mag failed to fire on the first hit in a rental S&W 629. The springs were clearly worn out, so light strikes. Every one of them went off on the second try. A box of PMC ammo, which must have more sensitive primers, worked flawlessly despite the worn out springs. One 9mm handload bought from a LGS failed, with the primer falling out of it after being hit.I stopped using UMC after a friend bought a bulk 250 pack which contained a bunch of duds (15+). This is just another reason to stay away, they really need to get their act together.
