[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 474624, member: 2736"] I was lucky enough to get a break in the weather and make a trip to the range to do some testing and break in on a couple of rifles. Normally I just buy a box of ammo and do the break in and test . The problem is kind of scary if you think about it. IN the "NEW" box of ammo there was a surprise, Two different bullet weights. The ammo was 300 RUM and I found(After noticing different recoil) 8- 180 grain bullets and 12- 200 grain bullets. I couldn't imagine Remington doing that and tried to figure out how it happened. It dawned on me that someone had swapped some 200s for some 180s so they only had to buy 1 box and they could find out which bullet worked best in there rifle. This ammo was not secured behind glass or the counter and with different ammo on the shelf side by side it would be easy to switch ammo around. The bullets were the same type and looked identical. Most ammo is not taped and should be so you could tell if it has been tampered with. The possibilities of even swapping brands is there, and if the idiot was not paying attention he could swap different calibers (NOT GOOD). and some are close enough that you might have a serious problem. The point to this is don't buy ammo that has been unsecured or opened without looking it over REAL GOOD. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
