Sumbro kind of makes buying reloads pointless

I do. Bought couple of cases (2k). On an average one FTF per mag. Yes , 1 out of 10, in a cz shadow with completion springs. 1 FTF per 2 mags (1 out of 20) in p320 factory set up. I use for practice but will never use in competion. Also shoots kind high vs S&a in 124 g.
 
I got some from the LGS, to pull for an investigation of a blown up pistol, pulled 50 rounds there was a 2.7 grain difference from the lightest load to the heaviest load. This was from an early batch, a new batch did have more consistent loads.
Verdict, crap ammo
Decision, buyer beware
Be safe
 
Even looking at the pictures, from reloading myself, the cases totally look like they have been used. Anyone have a pic of some?
"Newly manufactured" can just mean the complete round is new not necessarily mean ALL the components are new.
 
Mildly entertaining seeing how polarising this ammo manufacturer seems to be, either love it or think it's garbage. Interesting to see how there's people like myself that haven't hade really any issues and others that can't run a full mag without a failure. Either the ammo has improved with time or it's wildly inconsistent batch to batch.

True... maybe we will have to get a few ppl who just bought some from Tenda to give us their opinion?

Mhm my purchase of the loose bulk ammo was made about 7 months ago give or take but just in my experience it's ran pretty good in all my handguns, I don't have any rifles to test and another possible factor is all my handguns are hammer fired not striker.
 
Its amazing how split the reviews are... Some ppl are saying its cleaner / better than Blazer, some ppl saying its horrible. Seems odd... it must be very inconsistent or the older batches were bad.

Thanks to the new ppl chiming in... I mean its only ten bucks less than CCI but if this new batch is better than CCI then wow, that would be something.

My personal experience . Out of 500 rounds ive had one ftf . And one low pop fizz and failure to extract . Besides the fact that the flash holes are smaller than a virgins @$$hole and get stuck on your decapping pin , its not the worst ammo in the world
