I took an Intermediate Defensive Handgun class at College of the Mainland a year ago. We were required to used their ammo (frangible rounds) for the class which were provided as part of the course. I believe they were Remington frangible rounds. We found two round that the case was crimped and one with a recessed bullet (that one was jammed on my gun barrel and spent 5 minutes removing it, luckily no damage to my gun).PBR wrote:im in the same boat but might start looking at it more now as i load up mags -- never really inspect ammo beforecarlson1 wrote: Ouch! I am the world's worse at not inspecting my ammo.
The instructor, who is a former police officer told us that when he was in the force, when he cleaned his gun, he would take a box of his carry ammo and would inspect and drop each round into the barrel chamber to verify they were good. He would then mark each box so that he knew he had checked each and every one of the rounds on that box and were good to go. Since then I've been doing the same with my carry ammo.
