Thanks for the heads up, Gil.

Gil,

Many thanks for the RECALL information. This is ONE MORE reason why I reload. Second, the next time some twit says for CCW carry, "one must use factory ammo, ONLY", I will remind him that must exclude RECALL ammo, eh, wot?

I know my bullets go out the barrel, not so for factory ammo!
