Brown box, got it from Big Dog firearms shop in north bend, lot # was hand written in pen, inside the lid. Looked to be plated bullets, just looked loaded very long.

brown box? how do you know it was Washoughal?

That is a 50m ,rd box, but I never saw lot numbers or any numbers written inside Washougal ammo boxes - 50, 250, or 500 rd boxes.

Contact Washougal directly, and find out if that store actually carries their ammo.

I have cycled several thousand rounds of their ammo with less problems through more guns than any commercial cheap blasting ammo.

Well that's certainly some telling evidence it was Washougal...Though when I buy it, it's always in a white box. I shot more yesterday, no problems at all.
Weird...I would call Washougal and ask them about your box and the issues you have had.

bill always writes the date in the boxes.

could you be limp wrisitng it? ive had jams but it was because the shooter rode the recoil and didnt control the gun.

His post above...right at the end says "Just looked loaded very long".

Don't know if that means it LOOKS like the OAL is long?, or it actually is or if it just looks loaded long without putting a mic or case gauge to it.

How do these compare to freedom munitions?

I just sent the MFG an email about it.

Looked like the OAL was long, had it "nose" jam into the chamber face / to the left and right of the feeding ramp area. I did not have calipers with me nor did I save a round.

Was a glock 26 notthing special, all stock. I've been shooting glock's for about 15 years, load everything from 90gr frangible to 165 gr RN plated sub sonic's. Never had one give me issues. Ran another 300 rounds with another shooter yesterday, JHP 115'gr, 115 rn plated and some 125 bear creek molly coated. All great. But I do believe glock's prefer a shorter oal vs. the max oal. I typically stick to 1.090-1.125 depending on projectile type.

-side note a 10mm going 1600 fps will make you smile when it hits a pumpkin. huge massive chunks blown out and such.. Nice

Bill at Washougal or I (Brad at Brads Guns), can always help with any issues you are having with WRCC ammo. Did you only have the one 50 round box?

Yes Sir, just one 50 rd box. I also sent an email to the shop in North Bend, just feedback on a product.

Just my 2 cents.....

I've been shooting Washougal 9mm exclusively since January of this year starting with a Glock 19 and most of it (since May) through a Para Ordinance Pro Custom in USPSA, IDPA and a Steel Challenge. I've hit every local match I could this year. Some weeks (most weeks) three matches with TNPL or Paul Bunyan USPSA on Tuesdays.

The 115gr 9mm stuff chronos 10% over Minor power factor and is legal for both IDPA and USPSA.

Washougal ammo cost me 20 cents a round. I can build my own for seventeen. The volume of ammo I went through this last summer I would have been up all night making bullets for <$6 an hour.

I built my own ammo for the BladeTech Northwest Challenge for the simple reason that I couldn't chance a problem with either Power Factor or a malfunction. I figured if it was my ammo then if I had an issue it would be my fault.

All those matches all those rounds I had my first ammo issue last Marysville match. First stage, second mag I had a Fail to Feed. The round wouldn't fully feed into the chamber.

ONE round out of literally thousands shot. I'd probably have more malfs with my own ammo than that.

Throughout the summer at matches I've seen FTF light primer strike malfunctions.

Guess what pistol is the most likely culprit and guess what modification always has been done to that pistol.

Geeze, I actually saw a guy run a stage with 380 ammo in his 9mm. He couldn't figure out why the slide didn't fully cycle until he was done.

I think shooting matches is a great test for ammo and pistol quality. Its definitely not lane shooting. Renton Fish n Game last Sunday had a 40 round stage...you've got yourself a hot gun after that. When was the last time you've shot 40 rounds in less than a minute through a pistol.

Just saying. Its easy to blame the ammo.




Anyway, I was talking to Brad the other day on how many boxes he thought I'd bought this year.

He says, "Geeze man, I don't know......alot."

ONE BAD ROUND

Great track record. IMHO
