Herter's ammo not ejecting

[rockdogz]

I bought some inexpensive Herter's .45 ACP ammo from Cabelas, and my Para Ordnance P12 won't eject the spent shells at all. The strange thing is, another guy at the range had no problem using them in his gun and my P12 had no issues with the brass reloads at the range. Is this unusual? Anyone want to buy a few boxes of Herter's?

Is that the same folks who made the reloading presses, scales and such some years back? I have three of the presses I bought at a pawn shop and lemme tell ya whut- those was some heavy duty machines!

Herter's.

Boy, that is a name I have not heard in a long, long time....

Hmm, I kind of doubt it - the ad says that it's a Russian manufacturer:

Here might be you problem from the link.

Polymer-coated steel cases

When shooting filthy Russian steel ammo, I only use guns that was made for that stuff, AK, Mosin-Nagant, etc…

Obviously, a different "Herter's" from the American company us ol'timers remember fondly.

Looks like someone has bought the name; that "crest" is the same one used by the original company. Of course any ammo sold by the original Herters would be very old by this time, so I assume that is new manufacture.
