Armscor 357 no fires

[Spike Jones 5 2002]

I have been having a lot of NO fires from my Armscor 357 158 GR FMJ
I have been shooting my Rhino 5 inch with Moon clips.
Today I took the time to do a double strikes.
Only 1 fired on second hit.
I examined the primers.
All hits were deep.

Any others have experience with Armscor, - 357?

I know it's supposed to be el cheapo stuff, but my little Savage loves their .22 wmr.
Maybe a bad batch of primers?

Have you tried another revolver? Possibly the primers are seated too deep to get reliable ignition.

DA! Good idea. I will swap the moon clip cylinder into my Rhino 4 inch and see what happens. I will also run the course with speed loaders with my NON=moon clip cylinder.
Some times it just takes someone not totally involved to have a good idea.

I had some bad luck with Armscore a few years ago. Not using it anymore.

Bought, and sho,t a boatload of their .22, and 9mm, been great ammo, but your experience may vary....good luck though

I had bogus(squibs and no fire) 22lr and the 357 if I recall. Small batch of 9mm ordered by mistake has been ok. I wont be buying Armscore anything anymore.

Try without the moon clips they can act like a cushion at times.

I use Armscor 22mag in my Kel-Tec PMR-30 no problems....Armscor 45 acp with my Hi-Point 45 carbine shoots great

I have shot their 45 acp in the past with good results. It's not anything I would compete with, but seems fine for plinking. You should contact armscor and complain, they might try to make it right.
