Remington must be slackin'

[sniper7]

I mean if it were cheaper range ammo in a bulk box I wouldn't be so butt-hurt, but daayumm... this is supposed to be the good shit.

Ive gotten the crate of 500 rounds of American Eagle and had one screwed up in it and just dumped it in the dud box. I think everyone has at one time or another.

I would think their quality control would be better.

I won't buy much from remington anymore because i hate their .22 ammo. the golden bullets SUCK!!!!

and I have 5 10/22s and not one of them likes it, so i know it isn't the gun.
a ruger MKII and a walther P22 and a revolver .22 and none of them like it so I know it is the ammo.

all of those guns like federal though, and the winchester.

I am becoming more and more of a hornady fan. Winchester has been hit or miss for me depending on what the ammo is for. hunting rounds have always been good, their bulk reloading .224 bullets I really found the quality to lack compared to hornady and even remington.

I haven't shot remingtons high end pistol rounds, but this doesn't really make me want to!

OK the "finding" of a defective round in my defensive ammunition has me questioning Remington's entire production process as well as their quality control standards.

I don't have time to reload something else if I have Fail to fire or if I have a round buckle up due to a defective casing or some other quality related issue.

I need it to work on time, every time as designed.

Some might say "Man, that's a 1 in 1 million chance."
Maybe I need to go play the Lotto then, seems I am lucky like that.

Just looking for suggestions other than Remington.

Not shooting Elk with it... Unless of course the elk attacks.

I do know you're paying waaay too much for your ammo. ATG usually sells their 25rd boxes GS for $16-$17 per. I've personally ran two boxes of this stuff through the XD you now own.

I admit that I don't really know anything about how they do their ammo, but I have a strong suspicion that just because it is the expensive defense ammo, doesn't mean that they don't just run the machines or do any extra quality control. Just my opinion of course.

Great. I've got 500 rounds of GS in .45. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend. Inspector gadget..

This. Factory ammo, even "premium", is still factory ammo.

I reload but I still use factory for defense rounds. Of course I inspect them to make sure I don't have one of these but I don't expect a ton out of quality control when they are pumping out thousands of rounds a day.

see now we come to another issue.
I have read several times that the most feed failures that XDs experience are commonly from reloads, which gets into a whole other ball of wax that I don't want to visit here.

That to me is hogwash!! I've reloaded 45ACP for an XD in both HP and FMJ, and I've fired hundreds of reloads without issues.

I was simply stating what I had read here in our poly forums.(Yes I Research before I buy/Trade)
I am not stating it as fact, I was only saying that I had read it and would like to avoid that particular topic entirely. In consideration of the fact that I don't reload, it has no relevance to my situation.


Back to the Factory loads suggestions
Thank you

You can add one each for Winchester Ranger, and Federal HST. I typically carry the Ranger 127gr +p+ the majority of the year, and will switch to the 147gr HST's once it gets cold out, for thicker clothing penetration. I've shot a couple hundred rounds of each, and never had an issue. The Rangers are very accurate, I hit a clay pigeon at around 75 yards with my G19, not a huge feat but I was impressed.
