i brought a pack a fre years ago (308) it had 2 7mm-08 in it was a sealed pack right out the brick (shop had to open a new box of boxes for me as they had run out on the shelf i saw them cut the factory seal and everything the new zealand importer for winchester should have to reinburse the cost of his rifle and box of ammo

hes very lucky he wasnt hurt thats the main thing.... the rifle can be replaced or fixed with a rebarrel and fix up the bolt?????

That picture of the big bright gouge in the casing is a new unfired round straight out of the packet! Over half the unfired rounds had the same cut, they hadn't been loaded into the magazine or anything. The other picture there is obviously the one that has been fired and had the malfunction, I think it was the fifth or so round that he'd fired that afternoon.
