    Just for what it's worth- if you read through the owner's manual on pretty much ANY firearm, shooting reloaded ammo will void your warranty. The 180 is certainly no exception there.

    I'm well aware, this is a new gun, and one of the first 35. There is bound to be something silly happen, just like a first year production car.

    Crappy ammos. Nothing to do with the gun imho. Just crappy ammos.

    Funny how reloads will void warranty but just about every reload is of better quality than commercial stuff.

    Totally agree, but I wouldn't put any blame on the firearm. This was for sure the crappy bulk ammo. My fault for loading up on it.

So I had to drop the cleaning rod down the barrel to remove the bullet.

    So my day ended early, if someone knows how to host pics now let me know. 90% of the primers were cratered, gas bypassed the primer and pocket, and HEAVY extractor Mark's.



    I had 2 do that in 1 mag with this stuff, federal again...

    Yeah I had problems with that same junk in my APC. Haven’t shot it since, it’s been sitting in a box labeled NFG. Don’t even want to sell it to anyone, I would feel bad!
