Last case of Remington .223 ammo had 6 out of 1000 rounds with sideways or backwards primers!

Factory ammo is for the weak!

Well yeah I agree of course. Almost all my personal ammo is still handloaded of course, but guests go through a few thousand rounds a week at the range so that mostly gets store bought ammo. Also wouldn't want the liability if something went wrong with one of my handloads.

My pardner' was hunting many moons ago and noticed a set of moose antlers sticking up out of the not so tall grass, so wandered over to take a look. Turned out to be a bull moose sleeping. He lifted his trusted .303 jungle carbine and put one into his head. This awoke the moose and he got up and hi-tailed it outta there. My bud could not chamber another round as his now not so trusted gun had jammed. Never saw that moose again ...

Nothing will put a damper on your hunt quicker than wheel bearings on your trailer going

I busted through a shit ticket once on the mountain, yeah that was a bad day.

I was hunting in a West coast monsoon one day when I spotted a monster Blactail out the driver's side of the truck. Wouldn't you know it, what a crappy time to have the power window quit working with it only cracked three inches at the top. Not enough room to get the gun out so I had to let it walk. I still see that deer when I close my eyes to go to bed every night.

From there on out it has only been manual windows for this guy.

Lol I thought this was a crack at fisher dude, isn't he the resident road hunter?

Had a squib last year, with federal "premium" ammo. Went pop, but the massive blacktail went down. Walked up to him and he jumped to his feet, without a mark on him and raced off. 2 hours following his tracks, never found a bit of blood, hair, or anything. He crossed the road about 6' from my partner who said he looked to be a mint condition deer. Best I can figure is the bullet was already tumbling and gave him a thump, but didn't poke a hole in him.

That isn't really a squib if it left the barrel. Describe "pop" as in primer pop or the round actually went of ? Even a tumbling full speed round will penetrate, on what axis is anyone guess.

\if you're hunting from the front seat of your truck you deserve bad luck when your out driving (you call it hunting). Seriously, you couldnt get out of your vehicle?!?!?
