Re: Remington UMC Squib

rusty86 wrote:Received a package in the mail yesterday from Remington. A full replacement box (250 round count) of UMC 40 S&W ammo. They also included a letter that said the following:

We have reviewed the 187 unfired rounds of Remington L40SW3A ammunition that you returned associated with your report of a bullet lodged in the barrel of your firearm. Our ballistic lab tested the ammunition for velocity and pressure and the rounds did meet our specifications. The lab could not confirm from their testing why the bullet lodged in the barrel of your firearm.
We do work hard to provide quality products to all of our customers. We actually test fire ammunition with both velocity and pressure test guns, and target type firearms every shift. We are sorry you had a problem with this ammunition and apologize for the inconvenience.
I have enclosed a fresh box of Remington L40SW3A ammunition to replace the rounds you returned. We appreciate you choosing Remington and thank you for allowing us to examine your ammunition.


I was not able to find the casing of the "squib" bullet due to being in a shooting range and there were countless casings on the ground. I wonder if they would have found anything had I been able to send that back in.

However, I am very happy that they replaced the entire box and made it correct. Good job to Remington.
I guess you had one of those "one in a million" rounds.

Re: Remington UMC Squib

Anyone else have any problems with this UMC stuff? That's what I picked up the other day for my .45 and put 50 rounds through it without any problems.
