Thanks Varget

I read a persons' post re" reloading manuals and updates the other day....I still cannot believe that anyone in todays time
and place believes that products remain the same every year and
that they can use tech. manuals some over 20yrs old because the
powder is still called by the same brand name...

I remember us loading 7mm Rem Mags so hot that the primers were
bulging at the edges and thought that might be OK, but a little
hot..but that was in the 60's...I guess that's why some many folks have to purchase new rifles, ect annually...Dirt

Just saw this one

I put a couple through a S&W, 380. The first casing bulged and I will admit I missed it and shot the second one. It blew. Like blew the casing apart in the middle section. I was fortunate I did not sustain serious injuries except a brown line in my drawers.

I also understand that mistakes and recalls will happen. Here is where I am pissed at this company. I have emailed them WITH PICTURES of what their ammo did when it blew and we need replacements more so with this ammo shortage. I have also called. It goes to an answering machine and some fella says leave a message. Well you can’t. The mail box is full. In short Summit Ammo sucks with customer service.

The brand name on the box is Rattlesnake, FYI.
