gazzarM1 Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 They have a duty of care to give you all the facts…and that includes batch numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy W Posted October 5, 2021 Report Share Posted October 5, 2021 There are no News alerts or Safety Notices posted on the NRA or NSC website, nor is there any info on the S&B website. I find it unlikely that individual club members have been told, with no public announcement. Hardly an effective way to carry out a product recall. What was his source?

Roy W Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I am not saying it is not true, but if there was an issue, you would expect a product recall in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 A customer of mine, destroyed a brand new barrel, using S and B in creedmoor. The cases split at the web, and gas cut the chamber. I have the remainder of the ammo [ no, I did not sell that stuff to him ] and its going to the proof house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on top of two Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 every box of ammo carries a massive disclaimer , you use at your own risk . which to be fair is right as they have no knowledge of the condition of your rifle . if the ammo was made to spec . its the rifle manufacturer you should be speaking to , S&B will just file your complaint in the correct bin .

One on top of two Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Exactly, but as with all factory ammo the tolerances are massive, but still within spec . it will be almost impossible to lay it at anyone’s feet me thinks . fingers crossed there will be a happy outcome.
