this is very surprising to me. My experience with this ammunition has been great in several calibers. In fact, I often will buy it when I pick up a new caliber with the intention of using the brass for reloading

I was pleasantly surprised that the distributor refunded my money for them. That happened years ago, I've had them sitting for about 6 years, so, in reality they didn't cost me anything but having taken them apart now, I'd never buy anymore. Typically, quality 338 Lapua loaded rounds will cost upwards of 100-150 bucks a box of 20. I cannot remember what I paid back then but I'm sure it was better than 50 bucks a box (20) and I bought 5 boxes.
These are for my upcoming NM Elk hunt and I want to make doubly sure the bullet goes where I send it. As a rule, I'm not a factory round person in the first place.
Least I'll wind up with useable brass.

Have used several pistol calibers, and .308. All went bang just fine. I don't shoot (can't see) out far enough where ballistics will make the difference in a deer kill or not.

Got a box of PPU lead round nose 38 special. Shot it 4 years ago. It seems I remember it maybe being a little hot.
My only experience has been with the .38SW. No issues.

.30 carbine, .32 auto - works fine no problems.
Shot 30-30, 30.06 and 7.62X54R with no problems. It's far more accurate than the Spam can fare, for the 91/30.
And it shoots as well or better than most of the other brands I use.
Maybe there's a chump working at the factory. All it takes is one disgruntled, lazy, careless, or inexperienced employee to gum up
the works.
Sorry about your 338 rounds. That stuff is expensive.

PPU is produced 'over there' so quality can be whatever the mood strikes them. The one thing that I consistently found was the flash holes were very crappy, butted up and off center, but pocket tension was consistent. The reworked brass, reloaded shoots consistently now, just laddered a group the other day.

It just goes to show you......that sometimes, at a cheap price.......you get what you pay for!!!!!I usually stick to Winchester ammo.....I bought several boxes of 9 mm. for my new Ruger. However, I have found that the cheap Remington and Winchester .22 LR, available in bulk boxes, is crap! I usually have a bunch of misfires, and FTF because of bullets not seated correctly. This being said, I like the 50/100 rd. boxes of Win. High Vel. .22 LR to be fine. I also like CCI and Federal .22 LR. !
The Winchester, CCI, and Remington centerfire pistol, rifle, and shotgun Game Loads and High Vel. loads.........all work well!!!! Bob
