image of primer hole and primer, i couldnt take a much closer pic , shavings come off and are in the bags and the bullets are very rough from remanufacturing
Does S&B have crimped primers? Bad swaging job?
Other than being a bit dirty at times, BDX is pretty good for cheap, remanufactured plinking ammo. I've put thousands of rounds of 9mm BDX in various bullet weights/configurations through my HK P30 without any problems. Perhaps just a bad batch, or some ####ty cases that have been re-used god-knows how many times? They don't claim to use 'once-fired' or new brass for their ammunition.
Ya but they charge 50 dollars less on a case of 1000 then reliable gun for 1000 american eagle and at 90 for 200 thats totally not worth buying bulk or retail at store. These are just some pics ,there are so many more with huge dents and awefull job with primers. I think for my first time buying and shooting it, it suxz and i dont want other people to have issues like i did. A 1000 case from bdx is 350 and he says compare to 700 for commercial stuff but thats a lie, american eagle is 399 at reliable for 1000 and its awesome, clean ammo.

It's really the first time I've heard anything bad about BDX. They generally have a very good reputation when it comes to ammo.
I haven't used BDX ammo for quite a while, but his QC was always good.
The S&B brass is quite good, but the pockets have almost no bevel at the mouth.
All it takes is a very slight misalignment in the primer system and you can munch primers.
Literally, a few errant pieces of media or fouling could be the problem.
It sucks that you found the problem and not Kurt, but give him a chance to make good before you assume he doesn't care.

Shot 8 stages on my first IDPA match using BDX 40s&w. Course was about 120 rounds. Of that, 6 of the 8 stages I shot a "down zero". No failures.
I've never had any problems with their ammo, or found any shavings in the sealed bags it comes inside the box. I'd recommend returning the ammo to your point of purchase and follow up with them.

It would be going back to the seller I got it from if it were me..
Milarm carries it.
to your comment of ammo is final sale. generally ammo is only final sale when its fine and you bought the wrong stuff, already having massive defects should not be part of the final sale bit. Go in person with the ammo speak to the owner or manager and discuss it with them. I'm sure they will understand and take it back. IF not don't go back to them and post their name on here

Glad to hear they took care of you! As for the BDX, only way to control quality is to load it yourself!
No manufacturer is 100% perfect all the time.. I've seem one of the assembly lines of one of the local ammo manufactures a few years ago.. those machines can take a lot of tweaking to get right..
looks like to got a bad batch.. give them a chance to resolve it before you write them off.. considering it's Ammo, and the insurance implications, they should take every effort to make sure the ammo you bought is good to shoot..
