Inspect your 17wsm ammo

[bubba69]

I live in northwest TN and have had pretty decent luck at the walmarts. $14.77 + tax for 20gr or the 25 gr. Not too bad vs. some of the on-line sites. I just haven't had the opportunity to attempt any accurate shooting- to **** cold. I will be looking at the Boyd's stocks.

I got a check from Winchester this week for 16.00, I only sent them 1 bad round. Has anyone else that sent in ammo got a refund?

[gsperaz]

They gave me the option for a refund or replacement, I chose replacement ammo (2 Boxes ).

I'll bet that they (Win) has rethought their early statement of offering .22 WSM and .25 WSM ctgs!!

I got a call from Winchester yesterday. Woman said she was sending UPS with a label today to pick up my faulty round along with the .17 hmr round that was in my box of ammo. Winchester told me that they would reimburse me for them.

I'm on my 10th box and have yet to find a bad round.

I'll have to keep my fingers crossed lol

[gsperaz]

I got a few boxes yesterday, 25gr and a few of the grey tips were damaged. One had no tip at all.

[Lonewulf]

found 1 so far in box of 25gr 2GM62 batch, looked like the 1 in the start of the thread
going to go over them again just to make sure, thought I had seen 1 with a slight ding earlier and didn't see it this time around. must be blind

[Lonewulf]

after a closer look tonight I found 2 bad rounds in the one box with batch code 2GM62 25gr, also 1 in a 2HA03 box of 25gr
In my 20gr I found 1 in a box coded 1GM02. don't remember where they all came from, either the Big C or Wal mart
have 2 more boxes of 25gr on UPS tomorrow to check out.

[Lonewulf]

Had another bad round in a box marked 3HB30 25gr split case , contacted Winchester about these and have not heard a word or e-mail back from them yet since my last post :(

[Lonewulf]

still no word from Winchester on the ammo, maybe they are to a point that they do not care about it at all? not that 4 rounds is gonna break me but that could at least act like they are concerned and answer

Found 2 mangled rounds in a box of 25gr today, lot #2GM62

Two just like this, I just got this a week ago at Walmart

friend of mine works at my local walmart and is checking into the ammo for me, to see why they keep telling me it is a dropped number but they get the 25gr in every once in awhile.
only saw the 20gr there once and got a couple boxes before it was gone a month ago and none of it since

[gsperaz]

I have had several rounds like yours Jeremy. I haven't been able to find any ammo to buy lately.

I got a check from Winchester Saturday. $25.00 for 1 faulty 20 gr. round and a 17 hmr round in the same box. Ammo in NW TN has slowed up somewhat. Scored 3 boxes last week
@ wally world, but thats about it. I've got my eye on the SS model. Waiting to hear from others first.

[Lonewulf]

Winchester finally called me at work yesterday, they are sending a call tag Monday to pick up the bad rounds from 3 boxes and she said they would send me a check for the 3 boxes :)

[Lonewulf]

checked the boxes by BIL got me today and had 5 bad rounds Code 1HB71
sending them with my recall tomorrow on ups also

[bremereric]

I had rounds that would not fire. Most of them did the second time around but I sent one through three times and it never fired. I had it stored in my gun safe for awhile.

[Lonewulf]

got my check from Winchester today, they didn't give me anything for the last 5 bad rounds in 5 boxes I got the day before I sent them in, but didn't really expect them to either :)
can't complain when they give you the price of 3 full boxes back for sending in 10 bad rounds total.
