I informed him the ammo was not factory (he had put it into a factory box as if it was new), and also added a few choice remarks about his heritage.
1. Many, many amateurs take up reloading and 99% of them load too hot, give up after a while and then sell the remainder of what they loaded. Those little time bombs are out there by the tens of thousands.
2. Foreign made ammo has too long a history of non-uniform and corrosive behavior to trust any gun you value with it and too many foreign manufacturers have an established pattern of poor quality control.
Hi:

I couldn't disagree with these comments more.
