Had a close call earlier this week at the range. My son and I were getting in some range time shooting a couple of 9mm pistols. My son was shooting primarily, so I was loading mags for him. I had a couple of the Winchester bulk 9mm packs of 100 rounds we were using (purchased in 2018/2019 time frame).
As I was loading one of the mags for my son, something just felt strange as I loaded one of the rounds. When I looked down at the mag the last round loaded looked much shorter. I initially thought maybe a defective round, but upon taking the round out of the mag and inspecting it was cleanly marked 380 acp.
Never had anything like that happen before with commercial ammo but it certainly got my attention. I was fortunate to have caught that 380 round. Just something to be aware of and check when you are loading mags.
