I saw that they were 150 grn loads, inn the previous post, something to do with the ammo. If it was the gun, it would have done it with both loads.

Last week, a customer bought some Remington 150gr 308 wins from Walmart, which caused a squib load. he brought the gun in for me to take the bullet out. He also brought the the ammo in too. I pulled the remaining bullets left in the box, and three of the bullets had no powder in them. A phone call was made to remington.

I heard Walmart sells factory seconds, I DO NOT KNOW IF THATS TRUE, but this sure does appear good.
