100 rnd. packs seconds? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

only49ersfanleft · 03-06-2008, 07:34 AM

I went to my local gun range to do some target practice. The Rangemaster checked my ammo to assure it was accepted for shooting at their range. He told me to be careful with what I was using.

I was feeling pretty good about my ammo because I felt like I got a good deal on it.(Winchester fmj 100 rnd. $25.99 at Bass Pro shop) He told me that the 100 rnd. ammo is factory seconds. ?? He went on and on that they are not the same quality as the 50 rnd. ammo. "Ever notice that gun shops dont sell 100 rnd packs?" he said. Anyone know anything about this?

I think he's full of it. Ask him where he got his info. I'll bet it was from a gun shop that hated being undersold.

I'd say thats BS. I've never had any problems with 100 rnd boxes

It seems to me that range workers are those that like to talk about guns but have no idea what the true facts are. Think of them as the democrats of the gun world. Bleieve half of what you see and none of what you hear.

If you want the facts, call Winchester and ask.

Something to ponder, do you think Winchester would KNOWINGLY let BAD ammo to be sold? Think of the liability that they have on them if something would go wrong, not to mention the damage to their reputation as a major manufacture.

100 rd packs are all I use and have never had any problem. My firend shot the same thing I do (Winchester fmj) and he has never had a problem either. I agree with the statement about the gun shop guy hated being under sold.

Does the rangemaster have brown eyes?

Most Rangemasters should be called "Rangenovices". Anyhow, I have shot THOUSANDS of rounds of WWB bulk packs. Have never once thrown one in the misfire can. EVER!
