Bum Ammo

Last blogorado, we had problems with a can of Greek .30-06 I'd brought.  It was CMP stuff.  The 192 rounds in enbloc clips that they sell.  We had the same problem using 2 different rifles.  So, the guys in #GBC wanted to see pics to see if maybe it was bad powder from improper storage.  So, I grabbed a clip at random, pulled one of the rounds and took pics.  Here they are.






I don't see anything wrong, but then it wasn't happening with every clip, every time.

Where's the pic of you setting it off with a match?

Hmmmm...What's the date on that headstamp? Can't quite make it out. Not aware of any particular bad lots, but if you contact the CMP, they'll likely make it right. orest is good that way.

Julie, the fire department took those and said they "wouldn't hand out copies till the arson investigation was finished" or some such nonsense.

Murphy, The headstamp is HXP 80 if that helps.

when I saw the title of the post, I thought it was ammo for shooting bums.

I am now wondering if I did right by going for the Best crossbow for hunting? I am seriously contemplating buying my own gun for this summer. I want to hunt so bad.
