WTF, Federal?
Recently, Federal has started printing on the "Champion" line of boxes (on .40, and maybe 9mm too, I forget) "WARNING: Not for use in pistols with ported barrels or ported recoil compensators."
What could POSSIBLY make this particular ammo unsafe to use in a ported barrel, I ask you? Jacket seperating in the barrel and blocking the ports, maybe? I'm at a loss to explain this, aside from maybe they got sued for some silly thing, and this is the result? Anyone have any ideas? I'm tempted to call Federal and ask... |

Wow, this makes no sense, except maybe in terms of some perceived (bogus) liability issue...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember that ATK owns Federal (and CCI/Speer/Barnes, amongst others), and ATK has taken a controversial stance on certain issues, such as that whole brewhaha about them trying to screw civilians over by preventing them from having access to once-fired military spent brass. |
