It is unfortunate that shooting cost money. I care about my guns and my body enough not to buy chicom ammo. Reminds me of a guy that shoots a $30,000 shotgun and complains when the price of ammo goes up $.25 a box.

I don't knowingly buy anything from China. I won't use Russian ammo either (Wolf). There are those out there who will buy what they can afford, usually on-line deals. I only posted this to give a heads up as to what can/has happened with junk ammo. Buyer beware!

There are quite a few salvageable parts still there and if the top of the frame wasn't blown off it might be fixable.
Wouldn't this ammo count as factory ammo in case he did send it back to Smith?

This applies to everything besides ammo in my little world! Too many people fought for our country to buy "foregn" things!
