Sterling 9mm Ammo Recall

[jiggajono]

Hi Guys! Sterling Ammo has issued a recall for their green box 9mm ball ammo. Spoke to my dealer and he said that the supplier is offering to replace it with a good batch, box for box.

Tried to get something better and pay the difference but they have no other stock.

Paid R320 a box a while back. Crazy stuff. Don't know what they are priced at now.

Didn't have a problem with the ammo but I only bought 50, though Sterling don't have the best rep from what I understand.

Tested a few boxes using my 9mm case gauge. At least 2-3 rounds per box did not fit/sit in case gauge.

I always test ammo before using at the range or for SD.

Done the same in my barrel. They all passed. They looked a lot better than in the past when I bought some, many of the cases were scratched and just didn't look good.

Know someone who had a very very bad experience with it. Probably was part of the bad batch.

So, if you have shot them all out, you don't get anything?

I experienced about 1% failure to fire.

Not sure but speak to your gunshop.

Even if they fit barrel or gauge. What if the recall reason as due to the fact they possibly used wrong powder.

Case gauge is to ensure the ammo fits in the barrel. Only the manufacturer, supplier, etc. can answer your question.

Is there a batch / serial number(s) ?
