Inspect your 17wsm ammo

[Desertwolf]

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

I'll have to keep my fingers crossed lol

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.

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

[Lonewulf]

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.
