Remington 30-30 JUNK

I bought a box of Remington 150 gr 30-30 a few days ago. At the range about 8 out of 13 that rounds I shot did not go off. I shot the 1st 5 with no problem then 8 rounds, one after another just failed to bang. Its not My 30-30, I know this becuse it ate up 20 rounds of Hornady just before that.[:(!]

    My guns dont like Remington 22 bullets. Never had problems with any thing else except Wolf.

    Notify Remington. They will probably want the rounds and I am sure they will give you a coupon for some more.

    I would take a close look at the firearm.

    Look at the primer on the failed cartridges, were they hit hard enough?

    More important if it shot anything AFTER that.

    Primers dented? Contact maker

    Primers NOT dented? Contact gunsmith

    I posted about remmington's crappy ammo last fall. I will not shoot it anymore. For cheap store bought, I buy winchester grey box. Not one problem with it.

    Quite frankly, I am done with remmington, period. Their customer service SUCKS. They wanted ME to run 40 miles to a UPS hub and send them back 3 boxes of ammo, all at MY expense. Remmington can go bankrupt for all I care.
