Shorted Bulk Packs

[BIGnTall83]

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find 2 525rd boxes of Remington Golden Bullets at the Dunham's in Auburn. After work I was bored and decided to put the rounds in the CCI MiniMag boxes my son saved, after loading all of the empty CCI boxes with the GBs I realized I only had 999 rds. I realize that it is only a loss of ~ $2 worth of bullets. Has anyone had this issue before? They were brand new, I was there when the guy behind the counter opened the case that had just been received so I know he didn't have time to "skim" any rounds from the bulk packs.

Modern manufacturing equipment (I would have added "measuring, but that's too much alliteration) would NOT miscount by that much, unless it were out of adjustment. Might well be worth a call to Remington with the lot number from the box - it's very possible you might score yourself a couple replacement boxes, as they may well know that a certain time period on the manufacturing line was running with an out of adjustment weigh counter.

Ill have to check to see if my son took the trash out..... if not the packs w/ any lot info is gone and I'm SOL. Was just sitting here at work and thought about making a thread because I had all but wrote it off. If the packs are still accessable I will call first thing Monday morning.

Give them a call. I ordered some bulk bullets from Cabelas once that every bag was broken open. I counted and found that I was 11 short. At 50 cents apiece I was angry. They sent me a free bag of 50 for my loss and aggravation.

See if there is a disclaimer on the box that says PACKED BY WEIGHT

Well finally got my wife to pick up the phone, my son did what he was suppose to and take the trash out and the trash was picked up today instead of yesterday due to Independence day, so I have no Lot info or upc..... so never mind and thanks for the input lol.

I would be livid, glad they took care of you.

I had some remmington component bullets come up short by a couple once was working on my play for the call to customer service, then next bag was a few heavy so had a beer and went to bed. Ill bet there has never once been a pack that had 525 in it though.

I opened a case of 45's the other day and found a couple 40 boxes inside the case.

I bought a 1000 round case of Federal .223 from Brownells last year when it was still .30/round. When I loaded it onto stripper clips I discovered it was short 4 rounds so I called and got a credit for the shortage. According to the CSR I spoke with the packs were loaded by Brownells and not Federal.
