I was testing a group (CHL) and one shooter had a very nice Beretta 92 and was shooting the WB out of a 100 pack.
Every 3rd or 4th shot fired the pistol malfunctioned. The round chambered but didn't quite go into battery and luckily each time this happend it went "click" instead of "BOOM!!". The only way I could tell it was actually out of battery is that the rear of the slide was ever so slightly not all the way forward. One had to look very closely and feel and then it could be determined. Then, when I tried to cycle the slide for the (older woman) shooter, it was ablsolutely stuck in place. I was able to work the slide to clear the jam on a couple stoppages but the last one was simply stuck and I wasn't able to clear it. I stopped her from shooting any more (not that she could anyway) so we could all continue. I had the her get one of the range personnel to help me out cause I didn't want to stop the test. Anyway, Nico (Shiloh manager/owner, Again, thanks a million for your help in this) was able to clear it for me while I continued my test and then pointed out that the round that got stuck had a oddly crimped rim. I looked at other rounds in that box and many were mis-shapen, others had deformed rims, it was generally junk. The cartridges that were causing the jams weren't even straight. The cases had a slight bend or bulge. It was like trying to chamber a bananna bullet or something.
I strongly suggest that everyone stay away from this junk until Winchester gets their act together on this. Perhaps a not so well desinged pistol could have had a catastrophic failure with serious injuries. Online ammo prices these days are too attractive to be putting up with this kind of bad QC.
http://www.USAAmmo.com right now has 9mm for $8.45/50 and even with shipping, is the best deal going.
The other thing I learned that day is that it's a good idea to have an RSO along for the test.
