Remington Ammunition Recall

[Meiko]

Remington announced the recall of certain lots of .270 Win ammunition using a 150 grain soft point. The ammo may have been “improperly loaded” which could lead to a non-desirable ka-boom.

Here is the information straight from Remington:

1. I think all my 270 stuff is Federal.

I may have some 10-15 yo Remington stuff, but all my new stuff is Federal.

I still have a box of Federal 45 that was recalled a year or more back, I pulled it out of my stock but never sent it back. I've got it marked with red electrical tape.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

2. Thanks.

[Hoyt]

3. These arms trafficking manufacturers can't even produce bullets right. Yet we let yahoos walk around

with loaded lethal weapons.

[Meiko]

4. The bullets are fine

it's the powder loading that is incorrect. They rarely make errors and they are very good at policing themselves. They have a phenomenal safety record. I am just sayin' but the two parts of your post really don't follow.

[SGMRTDARMY]

5. You had to have strained a muscle

reaching for that conclusion.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

6. IMHO...

...the muscle strained, in this case, is one not used for "reaching".

[Hoyt]

7. Ah you guys will just use it as excuse to carry two guns when walking into a restaurant, etc.

[friendly_iconoclast]

8. While I don't actually *dislike* those living with Dunning-Kruger Syndrome...

...I also don't advocate indulging them, either...

[Hoyt]

11. Paranoia is more common around here -- when you can't walk out the door without a gun . . . .n/t

[friendly_iconoclast]

13. That's odd, I've managed to do so every day for decades.

Which leads me to believe that some things that you are certain of aren't actually true...

[gejohnston]

14. I don't walk out the door with one

I make mine on the spot.

[slackmaster]

17. There is some paranoia "around here" all right, and it's not in the heads of we who trust our fellow

...citizens.

[Hoyt]

23. "Trust your fellow citizens?" Yea supporting more guns and toting is trust?

[Glaug-Eldare]

26. I don't think my neighbors are murderers, while you do

Call it a Catch-22 if you like, but I'd rather enjoy the right to choose whether carry is appropriate for my situation than ban firearms out of paranoia that I'M SURROUNDED BY ZIMMERMANS AND LOUGHNERS!! I'm more concerned with finding solutions to the problem of gangbangers around here, who probably aren't concerned with our wear/carry/transport statutes, nor our possession laws.

[Hoyt]

27. To make you guys happy, a lot of folks get hurt, now and in future.

[Glaug-Eldare]

29. Thing is, you'd be a prohibitionist with a 0% fatality rate, so pbbbt

Can you think of anything besides prohibition that would combat violent crime, suicide, and accidental deaths?

[Hoyt]

30. Not helping pumping out 100 million more over next decade.

Time to constrict the gun pipeline here. We're polluting other countries with our guns too.

[Glaug-Eldare]

31. Yup, that's a NO.

Good luck with repeal!

[spin]

32. You fail to take in account that firearms often stop an attacker ...

or intruder from injuring or killing innocent people. Frequently no shots are fired.

Disarming honest people would have little effect on the criminal element and since there are currently over 300,000,000 firearms in our nation, even if most honest people turned in their weapons, criminals would never face a shortage of weapons. If they did, the drug smugglers would happily become a source of firearms from other nations.

[Hoyt]

33. "often stop an attacker" -- your guns enable attackers.

Your guns might stop an attacker, but in a lot of cases other less lethal (directly and indirectly) means would have worked just as well.

How frequently do you have to "stop" an attacker in the real world?

[Glaug-Eldare]

34. Oh boy, another "nobody *needs* to exercise their rights" spiel

I didn't realize that my rifle and pistols enabled anybody but myself, but I guess you know better than I do who's using them.

[Hoyt]

35. Carrying your gun to town ain't exercising some "right. "

[Glaug-Eldare]

36. One step at a time, right?

You realize (I hope) that the OP has zero whatsoever to do with carry, but you must pound, pound, pound the table to take that first bite away, then carry on while you chip away at the number of people who can fight back. Criminalize concealed carry (overruling several state constitutions and rewriting the US constitution to do so), and there's a big chunk of the lawful gun owners removed. Exploit high-profile shootings, lather up with the blood of innocent people, and lie about the causes. Next go the scary-looking "assault weapons" and "high-capacity magazines." More lies, more exploitation, more deliberate confusion about what these firearms are and do. There go target shooters and home defenders who wish to use semi-automatic rifles. Next comes the "mental health" fraud. More feigned heartbreak over the victims of mentally ill shooters, then the restrictions come. Every purchaser must submit to invasive questioning and complete abrogation of their medical privacy. Common diagnoses like anxiety will be grounds for disqualification, and any consultation will be cause for confiscation. Then handguns -- same formula as before: crocodile tears over tales of children caught in gang crossfire, misdirected blame, and lies about who owns handguns and why. There go the pistols, and all the legitimate uses thereof for recreation and defense. Finally, sportsmen will be forbidden to own even a single-shot .22. Violent crime will be as prevalent as ever, rural folk will be forbidden to feed themselves, military-grade arms will continue to be imported from Central America, and the last check against the police state will be taken out of our hands. In all the frenzy to remove guns from the world, no attention will have been paid to resolving the unwillingness of courts to prosecute violent gun criminals aggressively, mitigating the economic and social conditions that cause crime or creating an affordable and accessible mental health system.

As long as there are no more budding Zimmermans toting death-spewers at Chuck E. Cheese, right?

[spin]

37. Hopefully I never have to stop an attacker ...

Of course is is wise to consider non-lethal force to stop an attacker. That's why I carry pepper spray.

I also wear a seat belt while driving and have fire alarms and extinguishers in my home.

[slackmaster]

38. I support choices for people who haven't shown themselves to be undeserving of it

You obviously distrust people by default.

[SGMRTDARMY]

12. Now your completely wrong

I carry 3 guns when I walk into a restaurant and 4 guns when I go to the park.

[Hoyt]

24. You're sandbaging. It's probably more than that.

[SGMRTDARMY]

28. Probably but, I'll never tell

(wink wink nod nod)

[beevul]

15. Right...because the few here that actually carry, use handguns chambered in...

Right...because the few here that actually carry, use handguns chambered in 270 winchester.





If it wasn't so funny, it would just be sad.

[slackmaster]

18. I had to Google that concept. Google does not disappoint.

[Glaug-Eldare]

19. Rude rifle-caliber death-spewer toters... n/t

[ileus]

25. only the ultra rude baser gunner toters have these.

[beevul]

20. Looks like it would hurt to shoot it.

At least the .270 and .308 versions.

No thanks lol, I'll pass.

[Clames]

22. Man or mouse?

.50 BMG

[ileus]

21. I miss my TC: 223,222,30-30,308,44mag,22lr

I had all those barrels....Then I got into jeeps and sold it.

The 308 was death on a stick. The manager of our OR has one chambered in 308 he's offered to sell me a few times...I should pick it up just to have another TC frame and trade the barrel.

[Clames]

9. Or much else for that matter.

I think it's one of those autonomic setups where conscious thought isn't needed. Just needs the right stimulus and off it goes...

[PavePusher]

10. We should make everyone stop driving immediately.

Those cars.... and the tires they ride on... GASP!

[slackmaster]

16. Ammunition recalls are exceedingly rare because the manufacturers DO know how to make it right

The fact that they issued a recall is evidence of their responsibility.

[AtheistCrusader]

39. Oh, I stubbed my toe and yahoos walk around with loaded lethal weapons.

The sky is blue and yahoos walk around with loaded lethal weapons.

My dog farted and yahoos walk around with loaded lethal weapons.

Did you watch dancing with the stars last night and yahoos walk around with loaded lethal weapons.

[oneshooter]

40. Since I reload for both of my .270 Winchester rifles.

I don't buy factory ammo.
