Re: Factory reject ammo?
Back in the seventies I bought 1000 rounds of Smith & Wesson Nickle plated 45 acp hardball which was sold as defective/for components only. It was thru some third party company. The ammo had some primers upside down, some missing primers, some too much powder & and some had no powder & s...

Well I had my first colonoscopy about 4 months ago. Not anything.
So I guess at 67 I am very lucky. I had to drink the 1/2 gallon of juice. I did not think it was too unpleasant.
After the knock out juice I woke up in time for dinner. Had a very good dinner. A piece of cake if you will!!

Remington 742 in 308. Handloads with 44 grains IMR3031 & Speer 150 gr. RN. Not quite as many deer as buckeyeshooter, but all have been one shot kills. 85-180 yards.

A Nam Vet that I used to work with had a Remington RB 45-70 that I cast Lee 405 Gr. bullets for.
It was very accurate at the city dump where we shot it.
He passed away from agent orange at the VA. His half brother has it now?
