HDAV Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Probably BWM uk in Oxford area are official importers Edited July 28, 2013 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 The problem I've got is that I have 2 x 500 full boxes, and 1 with 350. Not sure who I bought them off, but I know they were not bought off the same dealer. I can't see any of them offering to exchange these without me proving I bought them there (apart from their ammo' record of sales) and also without them being refunded off the importer. I don't even know if all the boxes are faulty, as there is no batch number on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hope you have more luck than I did with Eley! They couldn't even be bothered to replace the 100 that they took for investigation. (Naturally, they found nothing wrong even though unfired rounds are STILL failing to eject in my mate's rifle - I gave in and changed to SK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 When I had problems with 2 x 500 bricks of Geko, RUAG swopped both boxes for some RWS target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I emailed Winchester USA regarding the faulty batches of ammuniion that I. and others have used. They sent me the address and email address of Winchester S A, adn was told to contact them regarding the problem. I wil do so after I finish work tonight.

steve_b_wales Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 HDAV. The ammunition was written onto my certificate, but since then, I have had a one for one variation, and have been issued with a new one, which has'nt any details of ammunition purchased.

I don't even know if all the boxes are faulty, as there is no batch number on them. There will almost certainly be a lot number on the box somewhere but may be difficult to see. It may be printed inside the flap that you undo to remove the inner box/cartridge holder. Some boxes have it 'embossed' onto the card somewhere that is difficult to fine - CCI do that with their primers. If you ask your local licensing department they will probably still have the details of your previous certs. I don't know if this is common to all forces but I have been told that my local force keeps all their holders old certificates in their file. J.

steve_b_wales Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Whats wrong with them? did dealer not write them onto your ticket? Of course the dealer wrote them on my ticket, it's the law. Since the ammunition was entered, I have a 1-1 variation, and I received a new certificate with no entries.
