    bullet setback question

    I ordered a bunch of 9mm from gander mountain, remington umc 250 packs. i'm not sure if it's the shipping method or the manufacturing/processing technique but for some reason in one of the "trays" of ammo, i see a few rounds having some pretty serious bullet setback. (approx 1mm for the first in the tray, 1mm for the second int he tray, .5mm setback for the 2nd) do you think this is something I should be worried about? I most likely shouldn't be shooting them, correct? should I contact gander mountain or remington about this?

      Yeah, do you have a micrometer to measure it? How did you measure 1mm, eyeball?

        yeah in my line of work i'm usually measuring objects by mm, so i can estimate 1mm pretty accurately. let me try to take a pic

        edit:

        1st is approx 1.5mm
        2nd is approx 1mm
        3rd is approx .5mm

          would you happen to have a caliper or micrometer and throw out some overall lengths in thousands, for us measurement challenged people?
