I purchased 40 boxes of #4 buck shot (pmc (clever mirage)) 2/34 shells. I fired 8 boxes of this junk in 2 different 870'sa and a mossberg 590. I never could get any of the shells to eject. PMC customer service must be walmart employees, he told me that if they fit in the magazine tube they would fit in the barrel since they are the same size??? huh???. iamb talking about not ejecting fire shells. Any way I now have to use my money to mail it to them to test the shells. oh I did force one to eject out of an old smith wesson pump because ejectors refused to let go, the ejectors almost pulled through the rim. All four guns in working order told pmc rep, he wanted me to send a gun along with the rest of the ammo for testing. yeah right. anyway iamb probably wasting more money just by sending them back. I was told if they find anything wrong they will replace ammo with any other ammo of my choice for the same dollar amount and shipping. I will never buy PMC crap again I came close to not even mailing these in and just throwing them in the trash. replacing trash with trash I load all my own except shotgun shells so I guess I'll ask for 22 long rifles or 223 or 380, but all I want is shotgun shells., but I would not trust theirs. Well I feel a little better now that I vented.

Did not care for their customer service and decide that getting ammo in trade for bad ammo would not make me happy. Like I said replaceing junk with junk. The ammo was given away to a friend.

I for one will never purchase any Precesion Made Crap products again.

Years ago I had some problems with their 38 super ammo, dealing with them then was a lot better than now.

In my opinion every thing PMC makes is JUNK. Wouldn't take it for free. Not even fired cases. I want nothing at all to do with anything with the PMC name on it.

Only ammo I ever had trouble with was PMC 30-06 165 grainers. I had about 4 burst primers on a hot summer day. Haven't ever shot the stuff since. Even HotShot eastern european ammo is better IMO. I have never had problems with that rifle before or since, and I don't use PMC 30-06 any more.
