Wait.....what.....you squib fired my girl......

Yup! Factory Winchester white box. Didn't even go far enough to clear the chamber for the next round. Probably lucky there or we might not have caught it.

Does anyone here know how I can post on FB with my "enter" key not working?

If you have this problem again in the future and are using Windows 7:

Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Ease of Access> On Screen Keyboard

or

Start> In the search box type "keyboard"

I will not run the white box anymore. They are weak as hell.

Yep not my favorite ammo. I dumped what I had of it

Lesson learned. It was an easy tap out with a brass rod. Very easy, painless. Put three more mags through her after. Man, what a comfortable ride she it. Like sitting in a rocking chair, she is easy accurate.

Not that it's all bad, I have just had more problem rounds with white box than any other cartridge.

I've run a lot of white box in 9mm with good success. It's kinda smoky sometimes. Runs a little dirty.

 

[db1959]

I haven't had any problems with the WWB. I buy Federal when I can but sometimes WWB is they have

Nerds to the rescue!

For now, it's what I have. I have been hearing good things about Magtech as an affordable plinker round for .45.

 

[jagee]

I've run a lot of white box white no issues that I recall. Everyone has their preferences though

You are the man.

Aint it funny how when I met you it was a struggle at 25 yards and now with the LT-6 influence you are banging the gong at 88 with ease...........

I had a batch of reloads that had 7 of 13 rounds in one mag that had no powder. after 2 squibs in 2 barrels I changed my habits and checkpoints when reloading. Both squibs ended up leaving room for the next round to chamber. I lived, learned, and didn't kaboom.

Yep. Also hit it with a Glock 17C () and chez's fancy M&P

I need some of that magic. But that .45 was hypnotic.

It was probably less than 50% of the time I hit, but I still hit!
