    Default What happened at Federal????

    So, I recently bought a couple of boxes of Hydra-Shok rounds, in 9mm, 124 grain, direct from the federal site.

    I opened the boxes and immediately noticed a discrepancy from the rounds I bought off the shelf in 2006...

    No case cannelure????? WHAAAT???

    The projectiles appeared the same in every way, but the cases had no anti-setback cannelure...somebody getting cheap?

    Pic attached....2021 round vs 2006 round...

    I like cannelured bullets, helps keep the bullet from getting pounded into the powder.

    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    I've got the same ammo that I bought a year ago and it doesn't have those markings.
