I guess this is as good a place as any to put this. I went out shooting my new Taurus M-17 17 HMR last week. I took some Remington Premier and some Hornady ammo out.
I loaded the cylinder (7 rounds) first with the Remington ammo. The 3rd shot didn't sound right so I swung open the cylinder and sure enough the bullet was lodged in the barrel. I tapped it out with the cleaning rod and two more shots same thing. Now this ammo I bought a couple years ago and was stored in my loading room with a dehumidifier on all the time and temp between 65-75 degrees. So not taking any chances I put the Remington ammo away and proceeded to shoot the Hornady ammo. First cylinder full no problem. I loaded up again and got a delayed fire. Like the priming compound ignited and then the main charge. This happened a few more times.
Just to be sure it wasn't the revolver I purchased a new box of Hornady ammo and it worked flawlessly. I also fired the Remington and Hornady ammo out of my Savage rifle and got the same results. One stuck bullet in the barrel with the Rem and two delays with the Hornady.
I contacted both companys with the lot numbers and Remington asked for my mailing address (hopefully to send me a refund check for the 3 boxes I have left) and hornady asked me to send them the empty cases for the delayed firing rounds!! I told them I would have to go back out as I am sure there will be more in that lot. Hornady also told me that their 17 HMR ammo has a shelf life of 10 years if properly stored?!?! That sounds odd to me. I have rifle and pistol ammo for longer than that and if performs just fine.
