Remington has announced a recall of some lots of .22 Hornet ammunition.

Do Not Use Remington .22 Hornet 45 Gr PSP Ammunition
Lot Numbers J29EAI, J29EBI, J30EAI, J30EBI or K01JDI

According to the recall notice: “Remington has determined that five Lots of its .22 Hornet 45Gr PSP ammunition may have improper powder charge weights. The five Lot Numbers are identified above. Improper powder charge weights may result in a malfunction of the cartridge when the firearm is fired. This malfunction may result in a bullet being lodged in the barrel creating an obstruction. If another round is fired with an obstruction in the barrel, a barrel burst may occur. A barrel burst could result in property damage, serious personal injury or death.”

So, not an overcharge but rather an undercharge.  Still a problem.

Spread the word.  It isn’t the most popular round, but we can’t be too careful.

Found this notice via the Firearm Blog -

Beretta U.S.A. Corp. has discovered a potential condition with Beretta .22 caliber NEOS semiautomatic pistols in which the pistol will fire even if the safety is activated and, in some cases, the pistols may fire if the safety is moved from the OFF to the ON position. Chances of either of these situations occurring is extremely remote and no injuries have occurred because of this condition, however, because of safety concerns relating to this situation, Beretta U.S.A. Corp. is immediately implementing a recall of Beretta .22 caliber NEOS semiautomatic pistols. For more information, download a pdf copy of the Recall Notice.

I’ve checked mine (I looked at the instructions, and said hell with it, and went directly for the serial number look up). I’m glad to say I can avoid the hassle of sending it in for repair.
