I picked up a box of 9mm 115gr washougal reloads, 1 in every 10 rounds jammed my Glock. I was visiting a buddy and ran out of my reloads, picked up a box and was very disappointing. It seemed very under powered, just barley ejected and cycled when it would not fail to feed. FYI-

Never had any problems with their 9mm ammo in any of my Glocks.

Try in another firearm to see if maybe an under loaded batch??? In other words rule out, or in, the ammo and not the firearm

Only had one box, burned it all up, damn pumpkin was just begging to be returned to the soil. I wish I would have saved a round to measure OAL and powder charge weight. I did purchase a box of remington 115 from Freddy's I had fired side by side, that rem stuff was "sparking" out of the barrel, snappy as hell, no issues, same gun, few minutes after the washgoul stuff. Just and FYI, I usually load all my 9mm but was running around un-prepared for that last big pumpkin attack.

I bought 70,000 rounds of Washougal 9MM for a group buy, 20K rounds I kept. I have shot many thousands of rounds through carbines, pistols even a SMG and I cant remember ever having a single issue.

Ive had a few light strikes with them, but other than that, I love em (in fact, just got 1,250 rounds delivered a couple days ago!)

I've had some issues in the pack I got. A few light primer strikes in my work Glock and a stovepipe in my cz75. Kinda sucks but it's cheap and provides realistic malfunctions, so there is that

Light strikes typically happen when the primer is "high" or not flush / just below the face of the case. If you have failure to fire's just look and see if the primer is seated flush or below the case face. 70K sounds like a good group buy, what does it come to per 1000?

I had an issue with underpowered loads from them as well. Ammo was bought like 1.5 years ago. I just shot it up.

The 250 I bought worked as expected in our TNW ASP, Walther CCP, and S&W 5906.
