Given how fast they are likely trying to produce ammo right now, I'm not entirely surprised.

The unfortunate thing is that the word won't get to everyone that bought. I wonder how many kabooms are gonna result. Nothing more dangerous than a squib.

When white box goes wrong.

 

People love to hate White box but out of the thousands of rounds I've shot of it I've had one FTF, bad primer out of it.

Haven't purchased any handgun ammo for 3 years.  Purchased some rifle, 308, and 7mm 08 2 years ago.

Thank you

What if I bought it from a scalper for a dollar a pop? Will I get my money back?

I bought 400 rounds from Academy this morning. Luckily the lot numbers do not match any on the recall list.

My wife forwarded me the recall from some FaceBook page she saw earlier this evening. Luckily they put a date on when the batch when out and saved digging through the reserve. Last Whitebox or any other ammo I bought was when Walmart was blowing it out when they decided no to sell hand gun ammo anymore.

Would have been nice to have some information on production dates on this though. Would save some of us a lot of trouble in digging thru boxes!

Ok so I need some help here. I have 1 box of that ammo and I have looked at the ends of the box and the numbers inside but I'm not good with technical stuff like this I will list what is on both ends of my box and would appreciate any help on if I have bad ammo or not please.

 On 1st end it has:

On other end of box it has:

                             A12        1

                          A12 B12

                         A12 B12

On both ends of the box on the outside it has

This box of ammo was given to me and the box appears to be pretty old so if anyone can help me out it would be very much appreciated,

@bersaguyDid you buy the ammo in the past few months? If not, you should be good.

I didn't buy it Erik88. A friend of mine gave it to me. The box looks old and my friend got it from a friend and he can't get in touch with the guy that they got it from originally.

I'd say your ok, Bersa. I wouldn't worry about it. Winchester white box is the Pabst Blue Ribbon of ammo.

It appears the only lot numbers impacted start with SC-SD and none of the numbers you have start with an S. I think your box is ok especially since you said the box looks old.

Thank you for the help Erik. I was thinking that by looking at the box I was in the clear and we are still going to get in touch with the guy that gave them to me. I am thinking I am safe because he sold his 9MM over a year ago so he has not bought any ammo in over a year so the ammo is at least over a year old that I have.
