Sausagedog 7,381 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I don't know if this applies over here but.... https://winchester.com/support/customers/X17HMR1-Recall Winchester Warning and Recall Notice: Super-X 17 HMR 20 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Olin Winchester, LLC is recalling two (2) lots of 17 HMR 20 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point Rimfire rifle ammunition. DO NOT USE WINCHESTER 17 HMR 20 GRAIN JHP SYMBOL X17HMR1 THAT HAS A LOT NUMBER ENDING IN NB51 or NB61. According to Winchester, the lots of 17HMR ammunition in lot numbers ending in NB51 or NB61 may not contain powder charges. Without a charge, the bullet can remain in the barrel, causing a bullet-in-bore obstruction. Firing subsequent bullets into the obstruction can cause firearm damage and serious personal injury. From Winchester: To determine if your ammunition is subject to this notice, review the Symbol and Lot Number. If it is Symbol X17HMR1 and the last four characters of the Lot Number are NB51 or NB61, immediately discontinue use and contact Winchester toll-free at 844-653-8358 for free UPS pick-up of the recalled ammunition. This notice applies only to Symbol X17HMR1 with Lot Numbers ending in NB51 and NB61. Other Symbols or Lot Numbers are not subject to this recall. If you have any questions concerning this 17 HMR rimfire rifle ammunition recall, please call toll-free 844-653-8358, write to Winchester (600 Powder Mill Road, East Alton, IL 62024 | Attn: X17HMR1 Recall), or visit our website at www.winchester.com. We apologize for this inconvenience. 1 Quote Link to post
