Had a wierd thing happen today. I had a FTF with my SA GI .45, and as it turned out, the rim of the shell was completely missing. I don`t know how i missed it in loading but obviously I did. The shell was a CCI Blazer Brass. This was the first time I`ve encountered this, and I wondered if anyone else has had this experience?

I`ll try to get a better photo of this....I took one and the resolutuion was so poor its all blurry.
Here is the best I can do...not the best resolution camera.

That is pretty wild.. Look like it was made that way or sheared off.. Contact CCi they might hook you up with some ammo

I was thinking of letting them know....I`ve stocked up on Blazer Brass, and since I`ve suppoted them...maybe they`ll support me. I actually hate to think what might have happened had it chambered. With no shoulder to close against???

Probley not much it would have fired but not extracted new one would have jammed up on the base of it

Wow I shoot blazer brass and use it for reloading regularly. as it's the cheapest at wally world here, but i have never seen that before. I would let them know and see what they say.

I had a gentleman buy an xd-45 from me yesterday and he came back today complaining that it had jams, turns out he also had a bad batch of blazer brass he picked up. He brought in a rimless case (didnt have a phone on me due to rules at work so no pics) and we comped him a box of shells. Turns out he didnt buy the ammo from us but he did buy 2 XD's from me in 3 days so I guess a box of shells is something the company can handle.

I sent CCI an e-mail along with the photo of this Sunday. (And apparently another guy on another forum had a similar situation just the other day). Low and behold when I got home this afternoon to do a little work in my office I had gotten a response from CCI apologizing for the flawed ammo, a statement that they would be passing this along to their production/quality control people, and also an inquiry as to the lot number from my box of ammo. So I obliged and sent the lot number info to them. Just a few minutes ago, I got another reply from CCI again thanking me for my input, and a forthcoming free box of ammo for my trouble.

Very Cool most ammo makers want to know about the problems

Talk about quick customer service and response time.....I recieved my complimentary box of ammo today by UPS. It`s only been 1 week since I initially corresponded with them. I`m very impressed with CCI`s service.

It's always good to hear favorable news about a company. Thanks for the follow up.
