the other side is scraped a little but not as much as this side.
this came out of a brand new box. its almost like someone tried to use it in a smaller caliber gun.

It probably got jacked up in the factory. You can probably get a free box of ammo out of it

Hmm, on my screen it appears to be about 12 inches long and like 4-5 inches wide...

That's not gun damage, that got caught up in the factory works as somebody else mentioned.

don't they have inspectors at the factory for that? Like Leverne and Shirley inspecting beer?

If by "work" you mean "fire", then probably yes.

If by "work" you mean "fire without doing any harm to the gun or causing it to jam"...less certain.

i'm not even going to attempt to fire it. i prefer to keep my gun working and i also prefer to keep my hands and fingers.

its not going to. thats the way it came out of the box.
funny thing is, i bought 2 boxes of this ammo. its .380 caliber ammo.
the 1st box had a 9mm cartridge in it and the 2nd box had this cartridge in it.

anyone know how i can contact winchester? i found a snail mail address on their website but no email or phone number.

Time to change brands.

i've gone through several cases of winchester 9mm without a problem. just now with the .380 have i had a problem.
