Heads up: ordered Federal 210 primers and received 210 primers in a 205 box

Someone probably just loaded the wrong 100 unit carton in the the packaging machines. It is all automated on the line. Someone made a mistake or skipped the quality checks. Wondering how many were wrong?

Here is what I want to know. How and when did Midway even get LRPs to sell?
Everytime I check anywhere they have none of any brand.
I'd be happy to get LR in SR boxes. I can write LR on the boxes.

If Midway is aware of the issue, they should be hanging on to any suspect bricks until either they (or Federal) verify they are correctly labeled and packaged.
Anything less is unacceptable.

Idk, I'd be happy to take some mislabeled bricks at a steep discount.

 

[Mike Matteson]

Now I got to go check mine from Midway.

Me too! Not that I wanted too. To stock up, but at times thing have to be done to stay safe.
The other is Hodgdon Rumbo, Varget H1000, H4350, H4831SC in 8lbs in stock at Midsouth.

 

[Mike Matteson]

I would demand a 10:1 replacement deal for the correct primers in the correct boxes

Be **** glad you got some Large Rifle Primers. it's not that hard to figure out what is what between LRP and SRP.

Me Too!

There is no indication Vista is shutting down production on sporting lines related to the ammo side. The layoffs are sparked by consolidation of recently acquired sporting equipment manufacturers in the clothing and hard goods like cycling and snow equipment market and the overall market downturn for sporting goods like shoes, shirts, cycling, and camping related outdoor gear.

Their Ammo portfolio is very strong and the new CEO was actually in charge of the the Ammo side.

I agree Weaver93!!!!!

If Midway is aware of this problem then they should stop selling a mid labeled product until Federal clears it up!

Here's my interview with Jason Vanderbrink, CEO of the Sporting Products (ammo) part of Vista. He talks about the sale and what it means to production of ammo for Federal, Speer, Remington, etc.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Tom. I listened to this on gun talk.

Remington, Speer, Federal, CCI ammo now foreign owned? Lake City Arsenal no longer selling ammo Retail?
ls this back door gun control? What's next? A ban on imported AMMO??

A gun is just a boat anchor without ammo.

I thought Russian ammo imports were area nixed.

I thought Russian ammo imports were area nixed.

They are for the most part. According to NSSF some are still getting imported, since they were already under contract. Even that has had a steep price increase. I don't use it so I don't follow it closely.
