A Warning to Those Like Me

[wyntrout]

I wouldn't want to risk using ammo that had been repeatedly ejected and reloaded for months! Mine only gets unloaded for the range or cleaning after the range... no kids around. I will use the top rounds for SD ammo testing or firing at the next range trip.

I use the rear of the magazine on top of the carry ammo to find "short" rounds... setback... for removal from CCW and range use. I want the rounds I'm carrying to be optimal for protecting my life and the life of my loved ones. That's one reason I wanted to get away from using the .22LR Walther TPH for CCW. I had misfires... ammo that didn't fire. It could be from carrying it for months... the humidity finally getting inside the rounds... I don't know, but I wanted more reliable ignition as centerfire ammo seems to have.

I believe that most of not all commercial ammo is sealed some of it visibly. BUT with repeated cycling that seal could be disrupted.

Box o Truth did a test with oil and they didn't mess up a single primer on a loaded round.

Bullet set back is indeed a FACT. When I first resad of it I tried my carry ammo. I repeatedly cycled one round for ten times. Found no setback but the rear of the case was pretty chewed up by the extractor. I decided then that I would notice when the round was chewed up like that and just set that one to the side for range use and grab another from my storage.

I don't unload and reload everyday as I really don't see the point in that. An unloaded handgun is a paperweight or a poor warclub. My carry guns generally stay loaded. IF I had small children it would be on my side or in a safe at all times I think. Then again I gots grands and they been told if they want to touch a firearm they see just ask and they can touch em. But I aint got that safe yet...

I once had a grandson rummage thru a drawer and find a broken handgun... he came walking out of my "office" where he was supposed to be playin on my PC with that handgun in his hand. I explained he best not ever do something like that again. Showed him some rather sharp knives in another drawer and explained that they do not always remain in their protective sheaths so he best not go looking for something, he might draw back a hand minus one finger... Explained to him and his sister that IF they wanted to see something all they have to do is ask.

bullet set back is one thing that is obvious to see if one continues to do that. I can see how they can remove a good primer and diagnose it as there just has to be some kind of damage done when trying to remove a primver cap. Just sayin!!
I am nopt soubting u in the sligthest, bullet set back can and willhappen if one continues to refeed the same round time and time again. I would not think once or twice wouldhave any real effect but again all loaded rounds are different in some way or the other. Primers are realy not fragile as far as falling apart etc, unless the primer was bad in the first place and then how can any company determine that the primer was not bad fromthe git go instead of now blaiming it on refeeding the round. I am not saying I am not buying that, but the price better be damn cheap for meto buy that, Just sayin.
