Just curious as to why the thread lock on Pierce Ammo?  Also I'm the customer and didn't get an IM from y'all at PSA?  Anyone buying the ammo?

Consider it a favor. They were trying to save you further embarrassment after admitting you bought Pierce Ammo.

Because you were blaming PSA for something that wasn't their fault?

well they sold him the product, he said the manufactures numbers were disconnected. i generally expect the person i purchase from to take care of me in an event like this, other wise why would we buy from middle men?
i would generally agree with you if he had come on bashing psa, but i didn't sense any of that with his thread.

psa said they sent him an im and then locked the thread, he started a new one asking why the lock and stating that he hadn't received an im. seems like the reasonable thing to do.

good luck op, that sounds like a terrible experience with this ammo. i have never had ammo that bad to include the worst rimfire ammo

I was wondering if anyone else was foolish enough to but Pierce Ammo; and it appears not.  Maybe a price rollback to $8.99 is in order.

Thanks, After having performance/reliability issues, researching Pierce Ammo, finding all contact numbers out of service, contacting PSA seemed reasonable.  CS at PSA stated I should try contacting through Pierce's Facebook page.

So PSA isn't embarrassed to sell it?  Daily deal special?

sadly if that is the case, a credit card charge back seems to be in order. i fully expect the person i buy from to stand behind what they sell (in the case of faulty product). again why else would we buy from a middle man if this were not the case?
give psa a couple days, and i am sure they will take care of you. they have been honorable in all dealings i have had with them.

Generally I agree with you on just about everything.

This is not one of those occasions. OP received defective ammo, attempted to contact the manufacturer (unsuccessfully), PSA needs to handle it from here.

I sent four boxes back.  CS was unsure if I will get a refund or a different brand in exchange.

I bought a bunch of .300 ammo a few years ago from PSA, can't remember the company, but the ammo wasn't that great.  PSA had shelves of it during the panic because they bought the last stock from the company.  I had many FTF, but not once did I blame PSA.  I got cheap ammo at the time.

I wouldn't mind a few duds; however, 40 out of 50 is ridiculous.  Usually crap ammo will fire when fed a second time.  Obviously there is a problem and Pierce is not home to take care of it.   I'm glad I tried a few boxes before stocking up with a few cases.  The boxes look really attractive.

They should be. Clearly two wrongs don't make a right.

There is an over abundance of crappy 300 BLK out there. I bought some Gunn 130gr SOST from PSA that was way overcharged and blew every primer. Then I tried Fiocchi from them which was also horrible. Out of 30 rounds I had 10 or so overcharged and blew a primer. I've also had some issues with PNW too. Fiocchi did swap out the rest of what I had for new stuff. Hopefully it doesn't blow my gun up.
