    Older stuff had some inconsistent powder and primer issues. I've run - and seen others run - the most recent stuff, and it has been stellar. I swear by Barnaul at the price point (2 issues out of like 5k), but I'll be moving to Sumbro full-time if they price stays around par.

    Well, there's hammerhill, who in post #1 of this thread said, "...The stuff I bought before performs flawlessly..."

    Found some in my range pick ups. Noticed it because 3 cases would not fit the 19s shell plate for my Loadmaster. Extractor groove oddly machined. This was old brass and very likely not related at all with the current offerings. I could put up with lots of crap for new mfg. 9mm at $0.25 per.

    How is no one calling this guy out on being a shill? Sumbro is trash.

    For $10 more you can buy blazer 9mm.

    Have never fired it, but many of the spent casings I've picked up at the range and reloaded often fail my case gauge checks in my shockbottle case gauge. So I concur with tbone tom, casings do seem to expand on firing quite a bit.

    Well this could be a great opportunity to new shooters who have trouble with flinching. They can practice and some rounds will be duds.

    Would also be great for learning how to tap rack bang for experienced shooters just a thought.

    I've just ran through 2,000 rounds of Sumbro. 1 failure to ignite out of the lot. This was all shot between my SFP9, CZ p-07 and Keltec Sub 2k

    Said it in another thread recently. Bought 3k of the loose bulk packs in the spring. Only been through 1k but haven't really had any issues with it except for 1 light strike during a carbine/pistol class.
