Default Does anybody check the ammo before using?

Last year I bought a box of ammo that had2 defective bullets (out of 250). I had shot 100 rounds at the range and was home cleaning the pistol when I noticed the defective bullet. I was glad it was not one of the 100 I had just shot. A small part of the edge of the shell casing was folded back on itself. Further examination found another bullet with the same problem and several that had a sludge-like grease on the outer casing. Earlier this year I bought another box of the same Ammo ( Remington UMC) and found 3 defective bullets and more sludge. So, now I inspect, cull, and clean every box of ammo I buy. That took a while to do for my pre-election ammo purchase.:hotsun

PS. I just bought 500 rounds of Wolf ammo and all 500 rounds were perfect. Maybe I need to change brands.

Default RE: Does anybody check the ammo before using?

I have done that ever since I started reloading. Just became a habit. There always seemed to be those troublesome rounds that wanted to have something wierd happen to them in the process. If a round had any sort of issue at all I threw it away. But, that also made me look at new rounds I got since I figured their machines and materials could have defects just like mine. I never really found that many issues though. I have probably thrown out less than 20 new rounds.
