Well I picked up 300 rds of Winchester Super CleanNT off of gun broker when I first got my .357sig XD. Well I was at the range tonight, and going onto my second box loading some mags when I found this in the box.

Did I win some sort of prize?

The two on the ends are what every other round looks like in the box.

That's bizarre looking. I'd guess either the bullet is in upside down, or more likely the hollow point ends on the bullet are crimped mechanically and this one was missed. Is there a cavity in the top? It looks like it from the pic.

nope, it is solid, like a FMJ or wadcutter. I'm thinking the upsidedown idea may be possible?

willbond · 08-05-2005, 01:47 AM

Yeah, upside down.

One way to find out.....

therooster · 08-05-2005, 07:56 AM

its just upside down.

Call 'em up, explain the danger and possibility of lawsuit or whatever, get your free ammo.

I had the same thing on a WWB .40 S&W:

Don't bother contacting Winchester about it. They will insist you ship it to them in special packaging that you have to provide, and ship it UPS. It's not worth the hassle to even give them a courtesy "Heads Up".

Can you give us a top down view of the round? It looks like the end of it is hollow, thus giving the appearance that its something different than just a round loaded backwards.

Winchester has such great quality control!

Can do, It looks almost just like the .40sw that is posted right there except its a solid color.

I'll be out of town this weekend, heading camping at the Kern River, but i'll post it up when i get home.

I wonder if you shoot it if it comes back at you instead of the target
