A little range time! PICS included--Update on ammo

I got the .40 Super and my AR build out to the range today. Everything went well except for the cheap Wal-Mart "Perfecta" ammo. I am going to call or email about it tomorrow.
Update: Well, I talked to Tulammousa and emailed the pictures of the issue. They are sending me a check and took down the lot number of the ammo. They didn't really offer me any more information than that as of this time, but said they would stay in touch.

So, what happened with the Perfecta ammo?
I hand load my AR ammo and don't crimp....I have never had that happen.
Great pics. Thanks Jon.
So, what happened with the Perfecta ammo?
Dollar to donuts...those necks were annealed too soft.
You can't use a pizza oven to anneal brass. {made in Italy}

So, what happened with the Perfecta ammo?
On the 2 rounds pictured, the bullet shoved down into the case when chambering the round. I examined the rest of the rounds and found the crimp to be very inconsistent.

That could very well be.

Gonna keep an eye out for this...
any day playing at the range is a good one , sucks about the ammo .
is that your first AR build ?
to be honest the 40 super I know little about , just a few words here ad there on here , will have to do searching on it .
I did get the last part for my 1st ar build today the BCG from PSA
it was after dark when I got to put it together , but I had to do it any way loaded up 40 rounds and let her go ( into the ground about 20 to 30 feet in front of me [:I]) in the back yard tonight with my youngest son wasting a few rounds , cycled like a champ at hit the what I was pointing at ( the ground [:D][:D]) , will have to see if I can hit a target now [:I]

"Any day playing at the range is a good one." That sure is the truth!
Glad to hear about your AR build as well. [:)]

I still have a few .357s to buy before I expand to something crazy like that, and over 2.5 years until I can buy a gun again.
ruined the day shooting some what but could have been worse .
