Title: federal ammo just so you know...
Post by: Rockhound on March 04, 2012, 08:47:50 AM
Its not just the shotshell ammo. I purchased a box of federal fusion 300 wsm shells last year, and these dudes were loaded so hot smoke would roll out the end of the barell, and they would blow the primers out of the hull. I sent these shells back to the company and they tested them. Here is what they said " we have thoroughly tested your ammo and have come to a conclusion that it is an issue with your gun, because the ammo is loaded within our specs. But for your trouble we are sending you 3 boxes of federal power shoks to make up for it."  90 dollars worth of shells traded for 30 dollars worth of shells? something tells me they were covering something up.....

Sure sounds like it, you might want to get your gun once overed by a competent gun smith also, save all your correspondence wtih them and make sure nothing bad happened to your gun
