Seconds warning!

[Jcalder]

Was loading some bullets and something didn't look right. Not sure why cause it's not much but I weighed a bullet. 130gr. They're supposed to be 123. Laid them out and you can see the size difference. So if you've purchased any seconds from midway thinking you were getting eldm, they may be mixed!

Good eye on the catch. Yup @MUP i wouldn't seen that lol

I don't know why it looked funny, because the difference isn't much. Glad I checked it and hoping that's why my gun hasn't shot the best

130s on the left, 123s on right. Got one more box to sort.

I'd be calling Midway!

How about that. Haven't ran into that before.

Wait! They might charge you more for the extra grains!

Second box checks out.

I've done this before. Their CS is terrible! Pretty much done with them

I emailed them a few months back and asked them why their seconds were more than the regular bullets. They basically told me to deal with, that supply and demand dictated prices lol.

Yep, they have lousy customer service.

Thanks for the heads-up. I had seen their recent deals on seconds and considered it but passed.

Must've fell in a vat of HGH

That's a problem. Especially if the difference in weight is drastic.

On that note, I remember visiting Sierra years back and visiting the 2nds store on the side of the plant. They were sold by the pound and scooped out of 55 gallon drums (all open top). I always wondered how many bullets were mixed when falling off of the scoop to a different barrel on the way to the scales.

Agreed, I would definitely be calling midway. Is there a disclaimer on the box? I know as reloaders we should check each finished round, but if someone were loading hot on the ragged edge of safe, this could potentially be a safety issue if it isn't caught. I understand if it was just one, maybe two that were a different size, bit that many is a serious cause of concern.
