Soooo;
Took my S&W 9 to the range today it has been several mo. since I fired either the 9 or .380.
Had an open "jar" of the tula gold stuff, noticed a few different colored heads, looked at them and saw they were Rem. , put them to the side.
Ran 4or 5 mags of the Tula with no problems, decided to run the Rem off.
Fits in the mags nicely.
5 in each mag, first rd. does not cycle; same for the second fires but will not eject.
At this point I'm thinking this crap Rem ammo, ..lol. I did have a cycle problem with this gun when it was new , but after polishing the ramp it has eaten everything for 15 yrs. Perhaps that is the issue coming back I think.
Run the rest of the mag practicing clearing and getting target again.
Ditto on the second mag..clear / fire, clear/ fire etc.
Go back to the Tula run 2 more mags with no issues, so I'm thinking that Rem is a bad batch of ammo...lol.
Look on the floor to clean up the brass and notice a bulged case... wth is that ? I look a bit closer and thats when it hits me..last time I had a few rds. left of a box of .380 I threw them in the "can" thinking I would remember. I did not.
Lesson learned; do not ever mix .380 and 9mm in the same container....dumbass.
I'm thinking the pistol should be alright since the projectiles are the same dia. , but I havn't taken her down yet to inspect the chamber etc..
My story for the day.
If anyone wants to see the brass I saved it. Not overly bulged, but you can see it easily.
