Personally, I would never use anything that the guy loaded again, would see if his insurance would cover the damaged weapons, and would stick to factory loaded ammo, unless you really like living on the edge for $50 per thousand.

Just my .02, YMMV.

Hmmmm that adds new light...

We have seperated the lot of ammo and we are going to be disecting a lot of bullets to see what the issue maybe.

As for replacement weapons goes thats going to be on the departments shoulders. The guy is a Deputy who was given the task of making reloads with department equipment and supplies. So we may have a training issue there.
