First experience with dirty ammo
First experience with dirty ammo
I've always heard the phrase "Dirty Ammo", but last weekend I learned what it meant. I fired three boxes (150 rounds) of 45acp from American Eagle. That would be those red boxes at Carters Country. Not only did I have residue on both my fore arms, my Glock started failing to feed from the residue after about 100 rounds. I say "failed to feed" instead of jammed because it wasn’t that the cartridge got out of align or snagged, the slide just wasn’t returning fast enough to push the round out of the clip. I actualy had to take the slide off and rub the gunk off the rails to be able to shoot the third box.
Yet another reason to reload,
PS Im not complaining, I know I got what I paid for, I'm just surprised at how dirty ammo can be and passing the lesson on to other newbie.
