My son and I have had a rash of Armscor duds lately. Mostly .380, some 38 special..all are FMJ, NON flatnose.. Seems the flatnose in both flavors OK. 4 different guns, 2 Glock 42s and a Uberti SAO and S&W 686...So, not 'light primer strikes', but 'duds'. 4-5 per 50. None of these guns have ever had any issues before and all work 4.0 with other ammo.
Anybody else seeing this?

2Been so long since I shot factory, I can't even spell factorie.
I ordered a case of optimism from Amazon, but porch pirates beat me to it. Still, chin-up.

3I haven’t seen Armscor ammo around lately… I’ve been getting mostly Federal, CCI & PPU.

4I have always had very good luck with Armscor ammo, but this weekend I had 3 failures to fire of Armscor .38 Special in my Python. I will try some more, because Armscore military FMJ's shoot very straight in my Python so I'd like to continue to use this load if I can.

6Thanks and I have had great luck with Armscor in the past as well..but these boxes from one retailer locally(Murdocs), who also do a brisk biz with RIA handguns..I'll just use something else. 380 and 38special, non Armscor, plentiful at Cabelas/Bass Pro. TONS of Herters 9mm, for info.FrontSight wrote: Tue Feb 21, 2023 5:08 pm I have always had very good luck with Armscor ammo, but this weekend I had 3 failures to fire of Armscor .38 Special in my Python.
