    Had two badly damaged cartridge cases that didn't want to chamber, and several shot that felt markedly different, stopped shooting immediately, last year some time. Took it back to blue box and they exchanged it and promised to let me know what happened, I'm still waiting...........

The difference between quality, consistent and safe ammo and that stuff is in the checking and QC. I don't believe for a moment that the people doing the work here have got the tools, skills, time or giveable phucks to do it to anything resembling the standard of what would happen in a 'factory'.
    I should probably stop buying their ammo and rather not shoot if there is nothing else available. And I just remembered now about the split handgun cases...

    Cheap "factory" reloads are cheap, right up to the second that they are very expensive.

    A dude on here years back blew up his DD AR with "cheap" ammo saving a buck or two a round and costing R40k.
