Since I don't load my own, I made a decision long ago to only fire factory ammo through my guns. Well, recently I bought some reman from a reputable arms dealer at a gun show at what I thought was a good price.
Today at the range I was shooting some of the stuff through my GP100. As I fired one of my rounds, I didn't notice a strike on the target -- the center ring was dark anyway, so I just thought the hole wasn't visible. The next shot was muffled. I inspected the gun and discovered the previous round had not exited the barrel.
I normally buy factory ammo in bulk via the internet. After thousands of rounds, the first time I break my own rule I get a bad result. Lesson learned. Never again.
Fortunately, I also had my 1911 and some good ammo so I was able to finish my session.
I left the range feeling both stupid and lucky. Thank God that Ruger is built the way it is.
