Out of 100 rounds today (223 reman) I had 6 primers blow out and jam in my ar. Anyone else have problems with this stuff ? Have shot it before withiut problems, but this batch is from a different lot.
When did you purchase this batch? I'll look at my receipt and see if I fall into this production run.

Have a bunch of 223 freedom 55gr ammo that is spitting the primer out when fired and causing all kinds of problems. Lot number is 5001600439. Lot number is on the bottom of the sticker on the end of the box. I had over 5 primers blow out out of 60 rounds. Stopped shooting as the primers were jamming up the gun.
Just an fyi. I have shot a lot of their stuff and have had problems with the 9mm and now this. The 9mm I had a squib and bullet stuck in barrel. Could have been nasty if the slide would have gone fully into battery. Returned 1000rds to them. Dont have that lot number as it was about 6mo ago.. Last week I had 2 low powered rounds I do shoot a lot, so maybe it is just statistics that is causing these problems. However, I'm kinda done with buying from them for a while. The low powered 9mm were reman and 115gr. Several people at the range have also started having problems with their 115gr 9mm reman. Low powered. Can hear the difference and getting a FTE due to the slide not moving back far enough.

FYI-I got this awhile back. Had to search for it.
