Good and bad ammo

Hi Edward; I quite agree with your observations, hence my interest [img]smile.gif[/img]

I saw one breakage attributed to a double load but if I remember rightly the opinion as to cause was split; some suggesting metal fatigue as a major factor ?

I'd hesitate to use in an older weapon but have shot it in a Thompson, Uzi, Hi-Power and Kimber 1911 without problems.

I suspect it's reasonably 'hot', and is too much for old metal and springs and certainly for my health [img]wink.gif[/img] .

I wonder if there's any laws governing the loading of foreign ammo sold in the US, (sammi specs ?).
