Hornady 45ACP TAP - damaged primer out of the box!

[Tamara]

You know those little boxes that the half-cases of defensive ammo ship in? What are they, about 8" on a side? I had one of those at the range at which I used to work on which I wrote "THE BOX OF SHAME" in Sharpie, and tossed the defective ammo that customers would bring off the range into the thing.

It needed to be emptied out more than once over a three-year period.

I'm not Todd, but this is my lane. I have used BHA new, reman, and seconds of both extensively for many years. Standard deviations, accuracy, and consistency across the board are superb, as is their CS and tech support to end users. Every manufacturer has a premium line with its best foot forward, but my experience is that BHA puts that level of effort in the entire catalog.

I have little in the way of experience with Black Hills, mostly from one of our smaller agencies locally that uses and issues their ammo, and a bud who recently got a bad case of 5.56 50gr TSX from BH, the replacement case was also bad.

Always inspect and test fire your duty ammo.

Always.
