Anyone else getting these results?? Today, I stepped outside my door to let my older sister try her hand at shooting my Sig P238. I picked up a couple casings from the ground, and noticed roughly a half inch split in the casing.
This isn't the first time that I've seen this, and it isn't limited to any one caliber. So far, I've seen some ugly flaws right out of the box, from multiple state purchases. One box of 9mm from SD had a 1/4 split in the casing, with the lip folded under (no pics just yet - sorry!). If I hadn't been watching carefully when loading my magazine, I wouldn't have noticed, and might have had a kinda ugly surprise when that round fired.
I figured most of it would be okay so long as I gave a quick peek at each round I loaded up. The numerous splits and casing damages have me seriously doubting the quality of this company.
I would say as many as 1 in every 100 rounds do this (Glock 33, Glock 26, Taurus 709, Sig P238).
No apparant bulging...
