    Question Quick question

    Hi everyone! I was just inspecting my daily carry ammo and found a problem that I haven't seen nor have I read about, so I figured someone here would know. One of my 115 grain +p+ Speer gold dots was loose in its case and could be pulled out by hand. I believe the round had been chambered before due to marks on the bullet and casing. Anyone seen or heard of this before?

    If a round is chambered and rechambered over and over it can become loose or become setback

    Setback was what I was primarily looking for. I just found 2 more in one of my other magazines. They were a little loose but wiggled tight again. Should they be discarded?

    Let's put it this way...don't try to shoot them, and I wouldn't reuse any parts of the cartridges.
    BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.

    If you have to ask you already know the answer. never shoot any questionable ammo. either pull the bullets and reload or discard.

    Please do not use these. Are they bought or reloads, I rarely see this on factory ammo. Just wondering? If are they are reloads, are you crimping them?
